"Come one! Come all! And welcome to the ultimate test of skill... That's right, live from the Independent Monetary Kingdom of Coinland, it's time once again for The Coin Toss World Cup! 8 billion players from all around the world! One solitary winner! Who will it be? Who knows! But it could be you! And it has to be someone!"
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
chances of it being you: approximately 8 billion to 1
Re: The COin Toss World Cup (a game)
(there's a back button and a save function also, i mention, unrelatedly)
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
contains mild satire in places
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
also if you download it from itch.io you get this animation FOR FREE
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
anyway the furthest i have got (without cheating) is round 12
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
That £1 coin in the picture is my favourite £1 coin ever (has a SKULL on it!)

Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
I tried to play it on itch.io first, but the Firefox tab crashed for some reason. It works fine on Accumulation Of Things, though. I think something may be wrongly set up on itch?
But despite that I really like it, and the whole concept

Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
oh bollocks. well that's annoying. (but also thanks)
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
it works for me in chrome and safari (on a mac and an old ipad). i'll download firefox and give that a try. not that i know what i could do differently (i have it set up as "display fullscreen" and "enable scrollbars")
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
oh i can't download firefox cause my laptops too old. well bugger

Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
The itch.io version does work on Chrome on my Windows 11 laptop, so that's something. In the Firefox error window it said something about not being able to find a "resource", whatever that may entail. It might be one of the security things in Firefox unintentionally interfering with something that Twine is trying to do, come to think of it
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
this seems to be a problem with twine games made using the sugarcube engine running on itch.io in firefox. something to do with accessing memory/cookies for the save function (which is the entire reason i used this bloody version of twine in the first place)
stupid computers

Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
presumably cause itch is running it in a frame within a frame or something instead of just running it in the browser
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
everything is so bloody wearying, it really is
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
i had to learn an entirely different bloody language for this too, as for some reason every single different story mode or whatever they're called in twine has entirely different syntax for everything
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
which was kind of irritating really
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
anyway why not toss some coins its fun and you might win a quadrillion pounds
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
I have stuck a note about that firefox bug on itch.io (i have found no solutions as to how to solve it).

Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
Yeah, for something so simple Twine has become maddeningly complex and broken over the years

Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
I played it via: https://dngdng.itch.io/the-coin-toss-world-cup
in the Opera browser, and it worked perfectly!
I went out in round 2 with my head held high, and poun 5 in my trou.
As Michelle says, it's a lovely concept, and I thought it was most fun to play! *double thumbs up*

Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
hooray. thank you
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
I made it to round six and will be turning professional
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
good man
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
I don't need to turn pro, because I'm already a professional tosser!!!!1111
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
i genuinely thought i'd shown remarkable rstraint by not making a single tosser joke anywhere at all in this game or also in this thread
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
and now look at it
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
It's just occurred to me - have you considered submitting your coin toss World Cup game to the b3ta newsletter?
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
i haven't (i'm too useless to try promoting things any more)
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
That's a pity, man.
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
ah, no, now you've made me feel a bit bad for being so useless.
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
basically i just think i'm too old to know what to do when it comes to promotion any more
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
maybe i should join threads
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
probably not what you're supposed to use twine for but i did so there
Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
anyway, probably has that same firefox problem the coin toss world cup had on itch.io, but should work here if you can't get that one to work

Re: The Coin Toss World Cup (a game)
I really like this, and it appears to work in Firefox! Though I only completed one round so far
Apologies for the lack of response to this until now, I was at my sister's wedding so the last few days have been quite hectic / emotional
