I know I've said it before but I will say it again. We need Glitchbattle in the Arcade. It would be cool.
What do you think?

Can we actually submit games to the arcade?

Anyways, I agree with Newo, it should work well for newbies to the forum.

Programming Glitchbattle as a standalone app is difficult enough. Making it an applet would require that I deal with all the security constraints (i.e. it can't make connections to any machines but the server it came from), and it would… well, it would be difficult.

However, it would not be impossible.

If demand for it is high enough, I can make a fork of the main codebase and produce the applet from there.

There are many possibilities with this: For one, I was thinking we could have a sort of mega-RPG going on. We already have shops and money, but we could extend it to allow members to also carry Pokemon. The Glitchbattle applet would be used for battling. In essence, it would be a forum-wide mega-RPG with glitches and everything. It would be everything that Heroes and Villains dreamed of. Who knows - we could even bring back H&V alongside the new system (the heroes and villains would compete through Glitchbattle or something).

Heroes and Villains was about… heroes and villains.

I'd like to hear what everyone else has to say on this matter. I'm leaning towards implementing it, and might as well start tomorrow.

It's a good idea. I agree it should be implemented.

So it shall be done.

There will therefore be two variants of Glitchbattle v0.7 - the normal one and an applet variant. I'll start doing some preliminary work in the SQL database now.
