How good are you?

Think you're a good Zilcher?  Any games that you finish will now count towards your Zilch rank.  The scoring is outlined on the page but you get points for playing against anybody, and win or lost points for playing against other Playr account holders.

So make sure you login to your account before you play, build your Zilch rank and let the gloating begin :)

Updates

I've made a few tasty tweaks to the engine now, mainly fixing some bugs and adding a few new features to the client before I update the server.  Now I have added:
  • Wings!  You'll only see them if you're playing against me
  • Instant rematch option.  I was getting fed up of having to start new games every time so I added a "play again" button to just play the same person again.  Very handy
  • Lobby happening in the background.  It was still making pops and noises and stuff whilst playing, that has been fixed
  • Some menu improvements.  Tweaks made to the logic of the menu screens has improved them a little.
  • Server enhancements.  Games are now handled more efficiently on the server.
I'm sure there's other stuff but that's the things I can remember, I'm sure there are more.

Today I have played against one Mexican, three Canadians, a Californian currently living in Italy and 2 people from London.  Oh, and one guy from Ireland too.
