[Enjin Archive] Who wants monopoly??
Started by [E] destroyer1239

Hey guys i was playing monopoly with my friends at school and my sister and mom at home and it got me thinking what if minetown had its own little monopoly system i mean who doesn't like a good game of monopoly except for people who dont want to waste hours playing it lol. But we could make the propeties warps and awesome places of minetown like the boardwalk we can make sawine lol if ur ok with it sawine and then park place dannidorrito if she is up for it lol. but i mean this could work if u think about it. 4 players, currency is in gold, hotels will be red wool, houses green wool, property signs saying what it is called how much to buy etc as signs and then the regular colors around the board as brown, light blue, purple or pink, orange, red, yellow, green then dark blue. but this is just an idea at the moment and so i just want to hear peoples opinions about this so please tell me what u think thanks.
Sounds good... but how would you determine how many moved you make without dice? And also if your playing the game how do you know some of the other players arent cheating? x
if you used redstone, there could be pistons keeping track of where the players are (blockswapers or RS lamps under spaces) so players wouldn't be able to cheat. You should also, if you get permission from the staff, make it in event world, so players cannot run off and steal the gold. I once saw something like this on the youtube channel of another server here but im not gonna name it as i dont want to be accused of advertising. In that I think they used a plugin to make maps that are custom for title deeds and chance cards. Or you could wait for books in 1.3. If you used books or maps, the area would definately have to be reset automatically by a plugin to stop all the cards from running out, so if the staff dont let you do this, dont use books or maps.
that is true we could use the redstone or when the player moves to his spot we have like a colored wool not used on the board like brown, magenta, etc. also i am currently waiting on seeing if my application for event staff gets accepted cause i would not like to lose that gold lol. Also danni what do u mean by how will i know if they are not cheating like money wise or something else? if i can put the event in event world that should solve the problem and also because sawine has already done so much for this server and all he does not need to add additional plugins just for this i will just go old fashion lol and have a set of community chest, chance cards with me and i will figure out a way to describe the money system with gold and then with dice i will roll the dice at my house so i can keep track of if he gets doubles or not.

You could use dispencers with 6 different items
actually that is a good idea we could have 6 colors in 2 of them and just decide which color means which maybe like this:

brown: 1

black:2

red:3

orange:4

blue: 5

pink or purple:6

that could work out good and then im still thinking about what to do for the gold as currency but i was thinking we have each player with 2 stacks of gold at start.
The problem with dispensers is that they dont dispense uniformily. That other server that made this basically used redstone torches burning out to produce random results. Im not saying we should copy them but Apperently there is more chance of dispensing an item in the bottom left than the top right and stuff.
ya i understand thta part now but hmmmm well so what the torches displayed the number it would produce out like it was in the shape of

kinda like a 6 then the torches went in like a dice type mode? if so i know how to do this then i jus tneed to make the chips ingame like or gates and gates and then put them together lol i made something like this in my engineering class.
ummm i can maybe make redstone dice with pistons and all, but i need someone to come up with a godd randomizer like the torches burning out or something like that or even minecarts. I can maybe do it but if someone has a better design then they should make the randomizer and i can make the dice.
The dice part is relatively easy, its the randomiser that would be hard. Have a look at that video i linked to, see how they did it. They basically used bunring out redstone torches, detecting which burned out first. I suppose for the dice, you could use piston memory to store the different dot sequences.
