I rewrote the high score board (I had to use PHP, XML, mySQL, and actionscript) I vague on some of those languages but I somehow managed to get this to work. I couldn't change the old link so I'm reposting a new link. Once I know this works I'll transfer the top 10 scores from the other database.
I removed Avicularia amazonica and added 10 additional species.
Here are my original rules...
Disclaimer:
I'm a self-taught hobbiest flash actionscript programmer. I have never had a programming class, so only constructive criticism please.
I made a game to practice tarantula names. Here are the rules.
A scientific tarantula name will appear. (The game will randomly ask you 15 of 60 names.) Some of the letters will be missing in the specie name. You need to figure out the specie and fill in the missing letters.
You will score 5 points for each correct letter. You will lose 15 points for each incorrect letter or letters left blank. There is a 30 sec timer. If you answer quickly the time left on the timer will be added to your score as points. If the timer runs out, you lose 10 points.
You can post your scores at the end. You will need to type your arachnoboards username if you want friends to recognize you. There is not a swearword filter on the names you use, so please don't get this banned by using inappropriate names. I will erase any inappropriate names I see.
You can use enter on the keyboard to submit your answer more quickly, but the enter button is disabled until the timer has initialized.
You cannot use capital letters.
Be challenged and have fun. ( I hope. ) If I've spelled something wrong, please let me know.
