Waiting and wanting for balanced dice

Is there any progress with the 'balanced' dice? I can do without perfectly pseudo-random dice.

It's waiting for the join game tab to be finished. Otherwise players won't know beforehand that they are joining a game with balanced dice. I also need to figure out a place to tell you on the game page after the game has started which dice the game is using.

In other unrelated news, there is going to be an option to let the join game tab reachable even if the game is started already, so that it becomes a game information tab or something like that. :) So that's one of the places one will be able to see what kind of dice the game uses (though on small screens the tabs don't really fit as of now).

Please [b]DO NOT[/b] invite me to [b]ANY[/b] games featuring balanced dice!!!! Yeah it sucks when things don't go according to our meticulous plans but that's part of the beauty of this game

Proof that Syg has the best dice ever. ;) People desperately in need of balanced dice: -------------------------------------------- UltrasPlot BETA 4960epic Dferguson tramadol Stratosphere Votazap and many more to boot... :)

My rank would suggest otherwise haha. Some maps and setting will just be too unfair for the player/team going first

Well without balanced dice it would be the same anyways...

You probably thought of these already, but here are my four best ideas for placing the information about the dice. 1 - Like Matty said, in the join game tab, and keeping that tab around for the game. 2 - On the top of the screen, near where the dice being rolled are displayed. 3 - On the bar which displays the game number. 4 - Fitting it on the bottom.

Balanced dice would help out a little bit.............lost a lot of games that i had good chances in

Move the text descriptions down, or the timer oval up, and put it directly under the timer http://www.bluemelon.com/photo/5157698.jpg (sorry, big file - used Paint) Dice: [b]Traditional[/b] -or- Dice: [b]Balanced[/b]

That's certainly the best idea so far, cbt! :) I like it.

Either that or bring in the icons from the live game lobby instead of the text at the bottom, but that might look too busy. The icon for the dice can be a scale with a dice showing 2 dots, and a dice showing 3 dots. Traditional dice the scale would be tipped towards the 2, balanced dice the scale would be balanced (I know, not that creative but gets the point across)

The idea is not that bad, but this will require even more scrolling down :S

A combo of shrinking clock text a few pixels, and moving oval up would mean it wouldn't have to be any lower. Or just moving the game clock up more.
