I made a PS2 minigame

[zomg]

So I made this thing...

http://ps2hq.com/map/

Pick your faction and capture Auraxis!

The map updates in real time whenever someone captures a hex

:D

[PhoenixDog]

Pretty neat!

[Sephirex]

Vanu ripping it up!

[DarkChiron]

You should make a game for facebook. :lol:

[Vhaun]

People keep messing up my NC Triangles. /shakesfist

[CheeZeX]

You should make a game for facebook. :lol:

no please don't. no more nonsense on facebook.

[AvacadoEight]

Really neat. Good job man. Now, to the NC, DEFEND THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER>

[MrKWalmsley]

Can I sue you if I get repetitive strain disorder?

[BNuts]

uggh blocked @ work

[zomg]

Thanks!

Can I sue you if I get repetitive strain disorder?

I think I'll need to add a Terms of Use page just in case ;)

[Angry Beaver]

oh dear god that's addictive

[Phantomdestiny]

i'm playing NC but the TR always seem to win the mini game faction bias? :rolleyes:

[TheInferno]

I lead the charge in the bottom right and we took it from those Vanu! Thanks to those holding it now! :)

EDIT: Aaagh tabbed back over and the Vanu had nearly overtaken it! We got it back though.

whoever the NC is going after the warpgate bottom right I hate you :p

[Vhaun]

TTK is INSANE. =X

[Gonefshn]

VS OWNS!!!

Omg this is way more fun than it should be lolol

[TheInferno]

oh my god my clicking hand

[MrKWalmsley]

Oh come on! Everyone knows the TR are the biggest bunch of trigger twitchers of all! They have a natural advantage in this mini game! You git!

[Sephirex]

Just got tweeted by Clegger. Prepare for more troops.

[thegreekboy]

ok who on vs has some kind of bot :P

[headcrab13]

Nice work zomg, that's a cool idea! It'd be awesome if for the next version you added the PS2 capture system where it was faster to capture adjacent tiles and slower to capture disconnected nodes.

Would love to see more community minigames like this!

[Doxy]

Muahaha VS owns everything =]

[Sephirex]

ok who on vs has some kind of bot :P

Technology = Might

[FHMathew]

beta starts then ? hmmmm whats this clock for ?

[zomg]

Omg this is way more fun than it should be lolol

Yea simple things are the best I guess :lol:

Had 103 players simultaneously at best so far (according to goog analytics realtime stats)

The nodejs server crashed once already... :D

[Kashis]

It's a neat idea. GJ

[lMABl]

Haha awesome job, this will hold me over tell beta. :lol:

[Lorgarn]

I'd like to remind everyone that NC was the first winner of ClickmapSide Beta. ;)

[zomg]

I'd like to remind everyone that NC was the first winner of ClickmapSide Beta. ;)

Sad but true :lol:

PSU IRC channel has too many NC people :D

[Vanir]

Come on TR we can do it! I'm killing my hand and wearing my mouse out! haha

[Luieburger]

So this is the beta huh? Fun!

[OnexBigxHebrew]

Vanu All DAY!!!!!

EDIT: Just cleared the whole map in a purple haze :P

[SmallBird]

http://ps2hq.com/

beta starts then ? hmmmm whats this clock for ?

Here, let me cite the page source and answer your question as to "what the clock is for":

"//Planetside 2 beta date, calculated using precision quantum mechanic prediction (aka a pseudo random number generator)"

Nice? I guess...?
I mean... Was this someone practicing HTML?
In essence, that "website" == :doh:

:groovy::groovy::groovy:

[Sephirex]

Vanu All DAY!!!!!

EDIT: Just cleared the whole map in a purple haze :P

I love finding out my favorite people here are going to be sharing my team.

[Luieburger]

Vanu All DAY!!!!!

EDIT: Just cleared the whole map in a purple haze :P

My map is all purple too. Looks like the system crashed... Probably that NC guy who was wiping the map with auto-click.

[Eyeklops]

Probably a virus that steals your coffee & beta key, then installs the HIV on your soundcard. Cool game though.

[AvacadoEight]

NC JUst capped the whole thing...

[Luieburger]

NC JUst capped the whole thing...

Not on my map. :P It must have crashed.

[Sephirex]

Not on my map. :P It must have crashed.

VS projected a fake map to the NC and TR monkeys, while secretly taking the whole thing.

[OhFiddlesticks]

Why is this so addictive?

[WiteBeam]

lol awesaome!

But make it so that you can only get an adjacent hex.

I think I just spent 3 full minutes clicking on a circle of 7 hexes fighting one of you guys.

[Murkie]

NC JUst capped the whole thing...

I'm going with this, NC were bound to win it at some point.

[Luieburger]

lol awesaome!

But make it so that you can only get an adjacent hex.

I was thinking the same thing, but... how about require 5 clicks for squares nowhere near your occupied territory, and only one click on the border of your territory. Clicking your own territory adds defense, which requires the enemy to click more to cap it.

Finally, add resources for hex groups so we can fight over specific resources that.... make our clicks more effective? Like... spend 1000 auraxium to make each click as effective as 5 clicks for like 10 seconds or something.

Ok... we've gone too far.

Yeah there have been a few people trying to exploit it already... Trying to keep an eye on it to prevent it at least a bit

[OnexBigxHebrew]

I love finding out my favorite people here are going to be sharing my team.

This game is like a crystal ball foreshadowing Vanu domination.

Can't wait. Now all we need is a "Higby Hair Salon!" Minigame to really get things rolling.

:whip:

Screw the Beta. We'll make our own Beta!

With Blackjack! And Hookers!

You know what? Forget the Beta...and the Blackjack!

This and other suggestions are good, but when there's already like 60-80 people clicking at things like crazy on a small amount of hexes like that, I'm not sure if it would work at all with more complex mechanic :D

[Ratstomper]

Just constantly clicking one hex and laughing about the one blue spot surrounded by red that can't possibly change...or just moving back and forth between two hexes. :lol:

[totoTxT]

Hey can anyone post a link to download the jpg of that map?

i won the game
alek grc wins

[TaintedPaladin]

EVIL!

[Destroyeron]

LOL!

[Seagoon]

This should be a mini game in PS2 to play while respawning!

[Arovien]

This is hilarious! Gonna be playing this til the beta.

Some fools are using Auto Clickers >.>

[Luperza]

It's addicting because I'm OCD and want it all to be purple. D:

[Littleman]

This is hilarious! Gonna be playing this til the beta.

You know... I'd call that cheating, but due to the absolute simplicity of the mini game + the fact that for all intents and purposes, it's war...

I'm calling this game Planetside: Escalation.

[zomg]

This is hilarious! Gonna be playing this til the beta.

Some fools are using Auto Clickers >.>

I added some prevention to it to get rid of the worst cases. Some people were using scripts which just spammed it all the time to capture every hex simultaneously. That is no longer possible.

[Fragmagnet]

NC R DOMINATE

[PvtHazard]

This is just awesome. Come on my fellow TR click like your lives are on the line!

[Rean]

TR won :>

[Littleman]

I think the victories will change hands. When the NC take everything for example, they have nothing left to click, get bored, then tab out for a bit. TR and VS then start scrambling for territory and before long we have one side cheating/populated to the point where they'll inevitably win and the other two sides are just grabbing one or two spaces at a time.

Good thing we have footholds, eh?

[hiben]

its working now

[DerFurst]

People hacked a cool, passing minigame about PS2's beta on the first day. This is NOT a good sign.

[Synapse]

People hacked a cool, passing minigame about PS2's beta on the first day. This is NOT a good sign.

Lol still happening. Entire map goes NC every few minutes.

[zomg]

People hacked a cool, passing minigame about PS2's beta on the first day. This is NOT a good sign.

It was extremely easy for anyone who knows JavaScript to just look at the code and change it a little bit to do it though :)

But yeah, people are bored and they do stuff.

I was bored and I made this. Someone else is bored and is trying to hack it :D

NC seems to be dominating this a lot now

[Mr DeCastellac]

You should make it so you would have to hold your mouse click on a territory for 5 seconds to capture it.

[Top Sgt]

typical NC hackers terrorists :)

[Timealude]

typical NC hackers terrorists :)

seriously nc cant do anything without cheating

[Kran De Loy]

Why is the the back ground hex spaces in between each hex the same red color as TR?

I call shenanigans!

[Brusi]

better pvp than a lot of mmo's, lol!

[Electrofreak]

Damnit, I've been working on hacking it for the NC, but I see it's already been done. :p

Good on the OP fighting back though through changes in the code. :)

[Zekeen]

Hah! All blue!

[DirtyBird]

Multi boxing works well on this.

[FPClark]

Vanu owned!

[thegreekboy]

map is all red \o/

[Crazyduckling]

All blue now!

[Bravix]

There's a TR auto-clicking >.>

Edit: nevermind he/it stopped.

[FPClark]

Lol it stops updating after a while :(

[Synapses]

This madness... I managed to sneak in half the top blue... and then someone realized it and ruined my run. =P

[Niemand]

There's a TR auto-clicking >.>

Edit: nevermind he/it stopped.

They are using their CoF hacks

[drennam]

stop killing my sad faces!

[Typherian]

http://ps2hq.com/map/

can some one take a pic of that and post it :) plz

[DerFurst]

But seriously, whoever decided to hack this is cruel.

I came on to capture everything for the VS and got pretty far with regular mouse clicking. All of the sudden everything turned blue. I just quit after that.

[Xaine]

Welcome to the Internet :(

[likwidneo]

See.... even the TR agree.

[dachlatte]

your game made me remember this http://www.virtual-bubblewrap.com/popnow.shtml

[Peacemaker]

VS and NC cant take it....

[zomg]

There's a TR auto-clicking >.>

Edit: nevermind he/it stopped.

Someone on Reddit admitted to using AutoHotKey :lol:

Lol it stops updating after a while :(

It shouldn't.. Which browser are you using? I left it on while I went to bed and it's still going on :D
I think I saw it disconnect on Opera once or twice but leaving it going in Chrome works nicely.

[CrazyAirborne]

lol playing right now, u guys crack me up

[Sabrak]

Just a click and BANG! Hex captured...?


NERF THE CLICKS!

[Satexios]

Bunch of cheaters there :P

[n2q0_matrix]

It's addicting because I'm OCD and want it all to be purple. D:

Done.

[xnorb]

[Nefarion]

100% NC, like it should be.

[RawketLawnchair]

Don't think so.

[IceGecko]

lags out my firefox for some reason 8(

[wraithverge]

TR Wins! cont lock!

well that was short lived.

[Dyson]

Thanks to whoever it was helping me claim the map in the name of Vanu just now :D

[DodgeIt]

Why am i so addicted to this?!?!

[LegioX]

I just conquered all of the map by myself with VS. You're welcome.

[MasterCalaelen]

I just VS'd the world again, and beat whatever NC was trying to backhack me!

[LegioX]

Conquered with VS again. And made the VS word in the middle for total domination.

[JoeBro]

Oh hey look what I made :D

[Pillar of Armor]

This is evil! So addictive!

[n2q0_matrix]

Yeah...you need to take this offline.

or add a running hex count for each faction...and list WHO is online. :D

Good read and useful information. Thanks for taking the time, as I was curious about your process.
