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?

Great idea beats, just about to type the same thing!

It would probably stop newbies being put off by words like 'brackish' and keep it interesting for those on higher levels!

That would be nice, as there are some new players complaining about the difficulty of some of the newer words. And also, it means that the learning curve will be less steep, if you're not losing points half the time.

A table between 10k and 75k would be nice.

If you could prevent people's guesses diappearing when people sit in that would be fantastic, although it does sometimes work in your favour :)

Maybe a mechanism which kicks a player from the table when they have been sat away for a certain amount of games. This would stop people losing loads of points when they have clicked the wrong button or been distracted..

But i have agree with Marice if you make no changes at all we'll still love it :)

Thanks for such an addictive and fun game!!

I think Tia has had some great ideas.
Eraser pen- yes, so you dont have to lose the whole pic.
Any extra drawing tools would add to the experience.
Free drinks and chocolate- definitely.
And could I please have a tablet like Mr Duck so I can draw cool pics too instead of jerky mouse based offerings

(where did this reply I just typed go?)
(oh well, take 2)
Tia has had some good ideas.
An eraser to remove mistakes without losing the whole masterpiece would be good.
Any additional drawing tools would add to the fun.
Drinks and chocolate- inspired!
And please can I have a tablet like Mr Duck so I can do cool pics instead of jerky mouse based offerings.

Enable users (trusted, multiple users) to approve new words in the suggestion queue, so that we get new words more often!

How about a 3 votes to kick player from table button for the occasional jerk we seem to get?
