Two Towers has been updated, its first since the GiaD event for 2007, my first BYOND contest that I took part in. Its taken me a long time but today I did manage to sit down and bring it back into the present day; although a lot of my time spent was on recoding my poor and terrible code.

I haven't managed to do everything I had hoped for, this is largely down to the fact I was expecting to work on it a bit more than I did, but there you go that's life you don't always get the time :p

So what is there is this:

* Fixed up interface.
* When someone wins, I purposely left out the losers colour before, but I think it looks better with it.
* Saved nearly 100 kb simply by switching .wav files to .ogg.
* Successful shield blocking now has a sound.
* Bolt and Plant alternatives to Flame and Frost.
* Streamlined the code a bit better to conpensate with varience of tower choice.
* 2 Medals to play for, with scoring on the scoreboard.

So I've ended up with a cleaner, smaller sized game with a bit of open endedness. I had intended to get a Single player done, but I've run out of time for tonight. I do still wish to do it soon, perhaps tomorrow night, and also some sort of one time use "special power" in order to give each element something unique and give it that extra flavour. Because of the lack of Single player, obviously the 2 medals listed on the hub can't be reached yet (although the 2 relating to multiplayer can).

I also updated AceMedalTable, for both Zetris 2 and Two Towers games. The 2 inaccessible medals are already built in, so if I do update Two Towers, I won't need to update that too.

Other than the additional medals, the following updates have been included:

Tried to make it look a little more exciting.
Top players button lists the top 10 players by points.

So I've changed the layout round, and made a cheap lookup if you couldn't be bothered to goto the hub page in the first place to see whos on top.

My next update for AceMedalTable would be a lookup of medals you DONT have, which will appear randomly, as suggestions to what you might wish to get next. Game wise, I don't know what is on my list other than finishing off Two Towers. I guess Quest2 might be one, SET UP is due an update since I've started recoding my GiaD projects and Communism2 needs to have a breath of scoreboard fresh air, seeing as I removed my own online scoreboard because it was crap before BYOND started doing it.

I have a question... why do you do like Zetris2, instead of Zetris 2? Or Communism2 instead of Communism 2?
I have absolutely no idea, just like it :p If I could think up jazzy sub-titles like "Zetris 2: Dawn of the Shifters" or something then I'd put a space in it.
