Making XSketch Better
Posted By: Ryan at 10:47 AM, Thursday June 26, 2008 EDT
I think XSketch is a fun game as it is but I think it could benefit from input from it's players. So I'd like to start a discussion on what could be done to XSketch to take it to the next level for online pictionary.

If you could change how the games works, what would you do?

What about being able to switch to a negative image? Black background with a white marker.

For somethings, the black background would have helped.

Agree with PP - 25K and 50K tables.

How about a symbol for players under 16 years, so you know when there is a kid at the table?

An eraser pen

Colour, or in your case Color!

A 'sticky' for drawing hints, like an ear for 'sounds like'

A 'Newbies top 20', only for people who are playing their first month.

Some kind of weekly competition,(lasting 24 hours), with new words only - as those that play a lot know which words repeat and can get an unfair advantage from this.

Free drinks and chocolate for all!

Reduce the break time to 6 hours or less instead of 12 :P

I agree with pickled pig ... more mid-level tables would be nice.

There is a bug that occasionally causes parts of the gameboard to gradually move down the screen and obscure other parts of the game. This can make it so the guessing input is hidden by the drawing area, and the area where you view the guesses can become hidden as well.

This is the "My screen is melting bug". Not everyone seems to be effected, maybe 40-50% of players it seems. Firefox 2 is definitely effected.

Not really about the game, but can you put links on the page of the forum to the game and the leaderboard? Don't want to waste time typing the adress when i could be typing answers :)

Especially the eraser and more table ideas sound appealing to me.

i think that one thing that would really make this game better is if you gave me a moderator flag.
i wouldn't even abuse it too much.

lets have a vote.

I would love to see easier clues in the lower tables and harder clues in the higher tables.

Also, what happened to the timer? It seems awful short now.

If Rigor Mortis gets a Moderator flag, I want a moderate Rigor Mortis flag. ;-)
XSketch - Pictionary Online
XSketch is a multiplayer word sketch game played in monthly competitions. It's like Pictionary. You sketch a picture with the goal of having other players guess your word and vice versa.
