Hello! I'm FlightOfTheWaffle and back on my old account, I made a game called Know Your Cloud. I recreated it with better graphics and design now, and I renamed it Cloud Counter.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Clicking the +1 button will increase your cloud count and the global cloud count by 1
2) The -4 button will decrease your cloud count and then give it to the charity cloud count. Doing this may increase your karma points by little or a lot.
3) The steal 2 button will decrease the global count by 2 and then increase your count by 2. Doing this will probably result in your karma going down.

—Karma And Charity—
Every 45 seconds, your cloud count and the global count will increase (or decrease) by your karma. The charity is similar to karma. Every 45 seconds the global cloud count is increased by the charity count. If on the 45 second mark the charity count is greater than 250, it will reset back to zero.

These are the instructions from the project itself. As you can tell, there is not only a local variable, but all of the world's amounts are collected in a cloud variable. It even has a karma aspect to it!

IN CONCLUSION
If you could please play it and then give feedback here or in the comments, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

The show and tell forum fills pretty quickly

B-U-M-P
You ain't got no alibi,
YOU BUMPAY!

I really like the game! It's unique and easy to play.

Maybe consider adding some music and sound effects? Beside from that, it's a cool project

also, my current highscore is 506. just wanted to bring that up.

Nice ideas! I'll see what I can do.

This game is so addicting! I love how it involves strategy and the graphics are amazing!

Suggestions:

• Maybe make it so that when you preform the “steal” action, you steal more that just 2, so that it's more of a gamble. That way you might steal two or three times, but overall it's not worth it.

That's it! Those are all of my suggestions! The game it so good!

I beat the highscore btw.

OOOOOOHHHHH FANCY IDEA! Thanks, that is actually pretty good. I think I'll change it to 8, but I don't know if it should be more.

No, 8 is perfect!

Nice game! Some suggestions:
-Maybe change the click sound effect. To be honest it's a teeny bit annoying. That's only my personal opinion though, I'm not sure what others think. If you go to http://soundbible.com/tags-game.html there are a bunch of game sfx that could be useful (future projects as well )
-Make it so you get points for clicking fast (or at least a liiitle faster). I'm clicking quite fast and only get 3-4 clicks for what should be around 15 or so. I can understand how, if there were many people on, it might interfere with the game, but maybe upping it just a teeny bit would be of use.
-Maybe make it so that if your count would go below zero, you can't give to charity. This is a comment coming from an absent-minded clicker who didn't look at their count between clicks, but it could be useful anyway.
-Maybe possibly make it so that if your karma is -25 or less, you can't steal. Or a button that lets you set your karma back to 0 if it's lower than 50, but takes away a set number of clicks from the charity count and from your count, maybe even stops you stealing until your karma gets to 10.
-Maybe (if you're feeling fancy) learn to make customized numbers so you don't have to use the default orange boxes.
-Maybe have a high score board instead of just one value (usernames could show as a list maybe) and wipe it once a month or so.
-Maybe have passing golden clouds on the screen which, if you click them, you get a bonus (maybe 25 clicks?) and rainbow clouds give you +3 karma. They'd need to be rare, though! Maybe a storm cloud as well, and you get minus karma if you try to up your count while it passes the screen (maybe for 3-5 seconds, and a storm cloud could pass every 60-100 seconds) OR it briefly chases the mouse and steals from you if it gets it
-Speaking of mouse, maybe a custom cursor?
-Maybe make a special boost in karma (+5-ish) for online players when the charity count goes over 250, but not for whoever put it over 250

Hope this helps

An interesting idea. It's too easy to game the system though. On my first game, I spammed the -8 option until I had 913, setting a new highscore.

On my second game, I used as many -4's as I could, as soon as I had enough points to do so. I now have over 300 karma, and I'm getting points so quickly I don't have time to spend them all! Expect a new highscore to be set very soon.

It would be nice if you added a way to save your score, and continue later.

Also, why is it so laggy?


Update: Now I have 1000 karma! Infinte free points for me! I'm going to leave my tab open for a few hours…

Congrats on the highscore! 417000 is quite a bit. Also my computer is pretty low end, and I don't have much lag. If you could elaborate on it, I'd be glad to help! I wish I was able to save scores and continue later, but I unfortunately don't have that much skill in coding. It probably is just a cloud list, but I don't have that much skill.

A found that, without the sound, you can just hold it +1 down. I doubled your score in a couple minutes.

I fixed that a second ago! Thanks for telling me.

It uses 100% of one of my CPU cores, and it seems to take a bit too long to react after clicking a button. I was able to fix it by replacing the forever loops in the buttons with “when clicked”, adding a small wait delay to the highscore loop, and removing the “wait until count < 0” blocks. You can check the count inside the 45 second loop, and when -4 is clicked, and it will work just the same.
