Disappearing coins

Disappearing coins

Description
Disappearing coins would look like normal coins, but they would disappear if the player touches it. They would be counted in the coin totals, but after the player touches it, the coin disappears, and the coin totals would be decreased by one. Disappearing coins would be marked with a "D" in the coin block's corner for the editors.

Example
If a level contains 2 normal, and 3 disappearing coins, and the player touched all the normal coins, but just 1 disappearing coin, the coin counter would show that the player actually has got 2/4 coins.

Re: Disappearing coins

putting a 'D' in the corner would kind of defeat the entire purpose of the idea.   i think this has also already been suggested.

Re: Disappearing coins

That would be kind of confusing. Lemme attempt to give you an example.
Imagine there is a building, with 40 identical rooms. There is 1 person with 10 balloons in each room. Every balloon is numbered. Some balloon numbers have stuff inside, others do not. Every now and then, some random person in a random room will pop a random balloon. Your job, (the server), is to remember who popped what balloon, where, and whether or not there is stuff inside. I'm not even talking about people leaving and joining yet.

Re: Disappearing coins

*Facepalm*
Person in a room = 1 person
Balloon with stuff inside = regular coin
Empty balloon = fake coin
Popping balloons = getting coins
Hopefully that clears things up a tiny bit, unless you just don't understand at all. o.O

i dont think you fully understand how computers keep track of these things.   adding a 'fake' coin would only require that another slot of memory has a new value associated with it.   it would not make the server 'confused', and it might frustrate users, but it wouldn't confuse them.
