My Idea compiliation!

1) Custom text messages (like in the tutorial)
2) BT multiplayer (like ghost bike)
3) Time and battery in interface, remove pointless speed meter
4) Statusbar shown in fullscreen (an option?)
5) Better UI - No palm menubar, a custom menu that is displayed on the screen. Or a button to bring up the menu.
6) Customize button for next level (on the beaten level screen)
7) The obstacle mines should blow up when run into.
8) Until users can add their own bitmaps into Bike or Design, it should come with some more pictures, including fire hydrants and animals.
9) The game should have the option of running as fast as the palm will let it; sometimes the frame rate seems to slow.
10) The 'submit best times' part of this web site should accept more than one recording at a time.
13) Obstacles should appear on the map.
11) The map should include an accurately sized picture of the biker; sometimes it is hard to tell how big the level really is because all you can see are colored dots.
12) Players should have the option of viewing levels with default colors (grass ground and blue sky) instead of the level's colors.
13) Web preview shouldn't be anti-aliased because the game isn't.
14) Play on the web.
15) Better colored progress bar for loading, less flashy (IMPORTANT!!!)

@pinerd: I like your last idea!

the_hintern

Well, for all that ideas, i have another one

A ToDo Page!
it would make the ideas much more clearly
(or is there already one and i didn't see it?)

Xuzz

You mean like a list where we submit ideas (or bugs?), and Sz can click add so we can see them all at a glance? I like it!

Xuzz

"you should make an online flash BOD that you can control with the Wii remote."

Another found old idea that would be COOL (if Sz has a wii

)

Champ

Haha, I just read on the news that gaming systems give out some sort of toxic, that will eventually kill you.

Yeah, it just felt like the thing to say.

Xuzz

Random thing (not even BoD related): the startup in Arcade Reality should be "For 30 years" not "Since 30 years"

Spence

it would be nice if there was a database of top times built in to Bod and updated at every hotsync or something. its very anoying not knowing your goals

Xuzz

How about if your palm is online a BoD integrated HoF/forum browser?

Xuzz

IDEA: CHANGE THE BACKGROUND OF THE BOD ICON TO THE STANDARD CIRCLE, NOT THE WEIRD STAND UP TYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See:

*Xuzz is going crazy*

Spence

I thought of this a while ago: it would be funny if blood piled up in real time so you can see all the spots you die most on a level (not that you don't know but it would be funny) it would kinda look the same as the sticky surfaces on BOD2.

Lee

Spence - you are a sick man... truly... would there be Grey matter involved too? - or are you happy with just the conjealed red stuff?

Spence

well it would probably be too graphic on BOD2 but all it is in BOD is little red pixels

Xuzz

New idea: Edit button on forum posts.

PiNerd

OK Xuzz, I already told Sz about that and he said he would fix it for the next version. However, I fixed it myself.

All you English obsessed people can download it here!

Looks like you will have to change the file name though because the creator of FreeFile (Kris!!!!) has overlooked the prc extension when developing the site. I hae seen the code for the site and it is pretty nasty about not letting many extensios through! Mind you, hackers these days...

Kristopher

Oops...

Xuzz

K, so Sz implemented #'s: 3, 5, and 15, with 9, 13, and 11 already done in previous versions!

Spence

Xuzz i think you were trying to get your wii-mote to work with your pc right? heres a better solution if you havent got it working yet-

Xuzz was using the Wiimote on his Palm; I don't know if he tried the PC yet.
I found and tested a Wiimote-for-PC library (probably made in C), although I haven't really used it yet. It's easy to program with, but the mouse is better.
