Dot Game Bonus

by dv December 21, 2006 1 Comment

The Dot Game is a wholehearted copy of the original SameGame, except for one difference. Both the original and the dot say you get a bonus for leaving fewer dots left at the end, but until now, that wasn’t true for my version. I just couldn’t figure out the bonus calculation. Well, it took me a bit of playing, but I deciphered it:

var bonus = num_dots_left > 0 ? FLOOR(125/num_dots_left) : 250;

Simple huh? Now you’ll get those extra points you’ve been missing out on. By the way, does anyone play? What’s your high score? Should be higher now.
