Improving the global ranking calculation
i see two ways to improve the global ranking calculation:

1.vary the maximum number of points for the levels depending on the number of players on this level. this would remove the need for limiting the maximum level rank to #99. but it would make some levels more important than others, which is what i would like to avoid.

2.gradually decrease the influence of the level rank. eg. each level rank position for #1-#50 counts as 1 pt, but #50-#100 gives only 0,5 pt per rank, #100-#150 is 0,25 per rank and so on. effectively, even with a huge number of players on certain levels we can ensure that each level influence can be limited to 100 pts and there is still a difference between #600 and #601 (in this case it would be 0,0002441406). i like this idea, but it is not very intuitive like the current "1 pt for each rank".

what do you think?

Multiplayer
It would be great if there is a Multiplayer funktion.
When can play over IR(Infrared) or Bluetooth against a friend!

Online Flash BOD for Wii?
now that the Wii internet channel is out, or at least the trial version, and it supports flash animations/games, you should make an online flash BOD that you can control with the Wii remote. THAT would be fun!

New Bike or Design/Bike or Die features
Suggest your new ideas for future versions:

One i thot of was allowing us to make the starting point at different angles, so if we start on a hill for example, we can have a 45 degree angle start so we are level with the hill... or if we are dropping down into a sort of half pipe we can start the bike vertical...

or at least be able to start the bike facing left or facing right so we dont always have to switch

Unwanted Games
How about an option for removing unwanted recordings from Player's Games OnLine?
  • Purge all recordings before ddmmyy and not in TTC/Freestyle/Unauthorised.
  • Delete single recording (not in TTC) in Game Details screen.
    Could save a bit of space on the server and would make the section more useful for those of us that tend to submit everything

    Bike or Die on Xbox Live Arcade
    I think it's worth looking into. Anyone can make a game for Xbox Live now that XNA is out (developing tools for XBLA and PC) and free for whoever wants them. It costs money to put the game on XBL (not sure about PC's though, they might be free), but if you want to do this and you get the game running as well as you like on XNA it might be worth it.

    Here's the link for XNA,

    bike or design for computer
    have bike or design for computer could make it a lot easier for people with small palm screens plus it can become a lot easier by adding new tools.if this happens any type of computer shouldnt be a limitation.(im suggesting this cause i think its a good idea and my touchscreen is really bad)

    Better known or respected players
    i think there should be another chart for people to give a point to anyone they think is good or who they respect or who they just plain out like

    Any Chance of BoD on Windows Mobile?
    I can't play BoD anymore since I don't have a Palm. I think it would be a good idea to make a Windows Mobile version so that all the BoD fans who have a Windows Treo or other Windows device can play it.

    Next Step for the Flash Tool!
    I would like an option in the flash tool: Instead of uploading a levelpack file (when producing a movie), there could be another option to select one of the levelpacks already on this site.
    Then, in addition to giving a .swf file, the Flash Tool could also save the flash file on the web site. Then, when we go to a level page (I.E. http://bike.toyspring .com/level.php?l=1437), we could see all of the flash files that have been uploaded for that level.
    Eventually, there would be movies for almost every level, to show how they are played. Also, the person who uploaded their movie could enter it in the Freestyle competition.

    Thought i'd put Lee's idea here
    Lee had the idea of having a spot in your profile that shows what kind of palm you use. It would be cool because you could see what kinds of palms others use and see if they have any effect on the times and performance of the game.

    Zoom out - see more area
    Several people have proposed this, i'm putting it here to confirm it is on the official todo list.

    the bike
    also the bike on the game should be more reallistic instead of just a frame. it should have handlebars, a seat, peddles and a chain. and when you are still, the guy seems to vibrate. am i the only one?

    Level based ground friction?
    Could it be possible to set ground friction?

    So if someone wanted to make an ice level, they can make the ground look like ice, and lower the friction level so that you slide a bit.

    Just another way to increase / decrease the difficulty.

    Live Chat
    How about a new tab at the top called "CHAT" and it allows in which there is a large window, and you have a bar at the bottom of the window (like any messenger program like msn or icq or aol) in which you can type a message. Everyone logged in can participate in the chat and we would be able to chat about anything we want instead of posting only on the forums

    so it would be something like this

    Mike Flips says: Hey Kris
    Kristopher says: hey MF
    Mike Flips says: its a shame im beating u at Sweet 15
    Kristopher says:

    i think that would be kinda cool, and im not 100% sure but i think its easy to do

    online version
    wacky idea but wonder if there was an online version of BOD?
    it could have a lot more features than the palm version and could easily incorporate multiplayer.
    on the other hand BOD for palm could get left behind and defeat the real reason for this site.but you would have to own the palm version to play the online version because there would be way to many people.
    just a thought.

    Can someone explain what the Recording Options are?
    Couldn't find most of these in the user manual...

    Location:
    -This tells BoD where to look for and save level recordings from now on?
    -if you choose the the opposite location, BoD is asking you if you want to move current files to that opposite location as a courtesy so you won't have to do it yourself?

    But Keep The Follwing in Internal:
    > Current Level Pack Recordings
    > All Recent Recordings
    -If I've already choosen expansion card for location, why would I want to put these files back onto internal memory?

    Manual:
    > move to / load from
    -what exactly does this do? I thought it was a file browser utility to allow me to move individual files to and from expansion card, but it seems to move all files. However, this doesn't seem to accomplish anything as nothing's changed. Is this just a way to force the moving of files like the courtesy request BoD did in #1 above?

    Everything else was obvious to me.
