> Speaking of the speed bonus, though... when I had it accidentally set at maximum, the bonus was 70%. Don't you think that's a little slim? I mean, let's look at a player's options here. At speed 0, it's mind-bogglingly easy to net $300 on one of the earlier, easy levels. At speed 4, with a little skill and some luck, you can build the same sort of trench and get well over $400. At speed 8... you're screwed if you're not continuously trying to make it to the exit. Heck, you're probably screwed regardless.
I suck at figuring out this kind of thing, so I'm open to suggestions. Here is the current formula:
#define SPEED_BONUS_PERCENT 10
// Bonus based on how much faster they were going than the game as a whole.
speed_diff = GamePace() - FlowPaceForPlayer(current_player)
if (speed_diff > 0)
bonus_percent = (SPEED_BONUS_PERCENT * speed_diff) / 100
speed_bonus = round(bonus_percent * current_player.round_score)
current_player.round_score += speed_bonus
What might be more fair? |
