WWTBAM 2016 and Clocked Slots Update

I want to help with ideas for the Clocked Slots but I have so many ideas I want the game to have, I feel it would just feel like too much to ask.

I do want to ask if the 2016 controller or the slots game will become available to the public (or at least Fan Games Access members). I would like to provide feedback if and when they become available.

That is fine. As you can see, I am a fan games access member anyway.
So feedback will be able to be given from me.

Yes I have added that. It will be an optional lifeline that the end user can turn on and off.

So I've just finished uploading my screen recording of the WWTBAM 2016 Game Controller that I finished creating these past few weeks. See the link below.

I'm not yet ready audition for Fan Games yet however because there some more things I need to do. I plan on taking this new controller and using it as a base point to re-do the shuffle controller that I made some time back, so that I can make it available for the Fan Games section at the same time I make this one available. Also, I'm going to have draft up all the documentation on how to use these controllers as well which is going to be a little difficult because I will have to get my mind out of the "programmers mind set" in order to make the instructions on how to use these controllers as clear as possible. Hope these last few items shouldn't take long, and then I can start/restart working on my Clocked Slots Project.

If Chrome fails to work at all for the classic controller, then the classic controller shouldn't work in any other browser at all (regardless of windows vs mac vs linux etc...).

If the "lights down" music plays but you see no questions then this is because the application did not load the questions correctly and chances are this is because your not running the application properly.

Under normal circumstances these controllers can not be run by simply opening the "Default.html" document in a web browser because the computer interprets this action as just opening a local file. When you do this and the application makes a request to read the questions.xml file the browser denies that request because it "assumes" you are requesting a foreign file resource and this is blocked by what is called "Same Origin Policy".

If you open the application as you have been doing in Chrome and then press the "F12" key, this opens what is called developer mode. Then if you click the tab that says "Console" in the window that opens, usually if there is a problem with the application, it will be shown there in red and may say something like "XMLHttpRequest cannot load file questions.xml. Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome, chrome-extension, https, chrome-extension-resource."

Chances are if you are running this application on a school network, then you cannot setup/install a web server on those machines for obvious reasons.

Now there is a way to run the application without a web server in Chrome. Chrome has a way that you can launch an instance of it without the security settings being implemented.

I do this in a Microsoft Windows environment by running the following command:

chrome --disable-web-security --user-data-dir=C:\Users\<YOUR_USERNAME_HERE>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

Of course the "--user-data-dir" command structure above will be different depending on what operating system you machine is running but Google has a post on how to do this located here: www.chromium.org/user-experience/user-data-directory

Now I do caution about running this command. If you open chrome this way, just be sure to close Chrome entirely and launch it normally BEFORE you go browsing any other web sites.

But as far as mechanics, nothing has changed.

Computer models have no bearing on these controllers. Go to whatsmybrowser.org and then copy and paste the share link that the website gives you in this thread so I can see what system and browser version your running.

Wow looks great graphically. Amazing.
