]]> 22 Jul 2007 11:40:15 Pokemon Crater About the Arena / FAQ

What is the Pokemon Crater Battle Arena?
The Pokemon Crater Battle Arena is an online game where you can catch your own online Pokemon and battle them against other players.

How much does it cost?
Nothing! The game is absolutely free to play.

Will my personal information be viewable to other players?
Only if you want it to be. Your email and other information not directly related to the game is hidden from other members by default, but you may choose for them to be shown.

What are the basics I need to know to play the game?
When you sign up, you'll choose a starter Pokemon. To catch more Pokemon, simply move around on one of the maps until another one appears. You can battle this Pokemon and try to capture it. If you capture it, it will be added to your team and you can use it to battle other people and catch more Pokemon!

When you try to login, you keep getting a message that your session has expired.
This site uses cookies to login to the arena. When the 'Session Expired' page always appears when you try to login, this means that cookies are not enabled on your browser. Change your cookie settings to accept cookies and this problem should go away.

What's the difference between Normal, Shiny, Dark, Metallic, and Ghostly Pokemon?
Shiny Pokemon have 25% more HP than Normal Pokemon and Dark Pokemon do 25% more damage than Normal Pokemon. Metallic Pokemon cannot be effected by status effects (Confusion, Freezing, etc) and Ghostly Pokemon have a chance to scare the defending Pokemon whenever they attack (scaring is another status effect, so Metallics are immune to it).

How do I catch legendary Pokemon?
Legendary Pokemon will appear randomly on the maps once you have beat every gym leader and both sets of elite 4.

Where is (pokemon name) found?
All Pokemon appear randomly on the maps. Different Pokemon are found in the caves maps versus the grass maps, and water pokemon are only found in the water.

How do you switch pokemon in your team with a pokemon in your pokemon box?
Go to the "Your Pokémon Team" page, there should be a "Switch" option, which lets you switch Pokemon. But remember, you need at least 7 pokemon in order to switch. You can't trade or release Pokemon that are in your party, only those that are in your box. If you do not have at least 7 Pokemon, you will have to catch more so you will able to switch them out of your party.

How do I get on the Top 100 Trainers list?
It takes a lot of time and patience to get on the top trainers. You need to have a lot of high level pokemon with a lot of experience, and many, many battles won to get on the top 100.

I forgot my password! What can I do?
If you provided your email, you can go here and enter your username and it will be emailed to you: Forgot Password.

Can I battle my friends and how do I do it?
You can battle your friends in a live battle. Either find them on the map and click "show battles: on" below the map and you'll find a link to battle them. You can also just enter their username on the "Battle an Online Member" page if they are online.

Can I battle other people when they are not online?
You can battle people who aren't online by going to the "Battle Any Member" page. However, their Pokemon will be computer controlled.

What are the stones (ie: Moon Stone, Water Stone, Thunder Sone, etc.)?
These stones are for evolving some of the pokemon that require a stone to evolve. Before you evolve them, you will need to buy the appropriate stone and it will be used when you evolve that Pokemon.

Why are some attacks so expensive?
Attacks that are not normal or share a type with your Pokemon are much more expensive, since if you want an attack that does not match your Pokemon, it should cost more to teach them that attack.

What do the points mean?
The points are calculated from your total experience, average experience, and total battles won. They are the same points as are displayed on the top 100 trainers list and are meant to show your relative progress. Don't be discouraged if they are really low, many of the people on the top trainers list have been here for years.

N has been described as reminiscent of lode runner -- you're a little dude running around in a puzzle-y world inhabited by enemies.

But in N, there's a twist: the ninja is driven not only by a thirst for gold, but also by a physics simulation.

Death, which happens often, is quite animated.

]]> 16 Jun 2007 12:54:52 Indestructo Tanko This flash game is when an army of enemies march to kill you.

A sidescroller with a difference. In IndestructoTank, your only weapon against the enemy is you--launch yourself at the enemy in this simple physics based game.

Bounce from bombs to enemy planes and destroy them in mid-air. After you "land" you will get exp points. When you have enough points, you can upgrade the number of enemies that appear, which allows for longer combos as you juggle your tank from enemy to enemy.

Your tank can't be destroyed unless it runs out of fuel, so crash and smash your way to victory before you run dry!

]]> 11 Dec 2006 06:58:58 Oregon Trail The Oregon Trail is an educational computer game about American pioneer life that has a long history in North American school districts and homes. The game was inspired by the real-life Oregon Trail and was designed to teach school children about the realities of 19th century pioneer life on the trail. The player takes the role of a party of people, of a selected profession, traveling across the Oregon Trail in a Conestoga wagon. The success of the game has spawned numerous sequels such as The Amazon Trail and The Yukon Trail.

The first version of the game, simply entitled "OREGON" was made in 1971 and was designed for the teletype machines operating on the TIES system at Carleton College. The original coder was Bill Heinemann. One of the original developers, Don Rawitsch, was a history teacher who later began working at the state-funded Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium (MECC) in 1974, where the game would be further developed. Oregon Trail was distributed through the consortium to educational institutions and the code (written in BASIC) was published in Creative Magazine allowing users of Commodore PET and other early home microcomputers to input it into their own machines to play.

]]> 20 Dec 2006 03:45:16 WolfQuest WolfQuest is an immersive 3D action role-playing game. Players join a wolf pack made up of AI-controlled wolves or friends online, and, through trial and error, instinct, and experience, learn to maximize both individual and pack survival. Players find they must balance individual and pack needs in order to increase their collective ability to hunt, defend territory, avoid danger, and protect their young. As they respond to realistic challenges presented by their environment, players will experientially learn about habitat quality, prey populations, and the impact of human presence on the landscape.

Set in Yellowstone National Park, the game combines exciting third-person gameplay and accurate science about wolf behavior and ecology. This is a learning game, but it's not a "serious game." Instead, it is seriously fun.

Built using Unity 3D, the Mac OSX-based game development IDE that "Just Works."
]]> 23 May 2007 02:58:14 Tetrageddon Although the controls take on the basic "pentomino" controls (Up, Down, Left, Right, Space for "drop", and Q to submit your high-score), the game-play takes a very unusual spin that tickles the "nonsense" nerve. You are presented with a quiet city scene where you control heaps of rubble dropped from the sky by a tiny alien (Minibyte), who decided to "pick on the big people" by planting his "Portable Entertainment System" (a giant crane) over Earth. The goal of the game comes in three tiers: to score by squishing people, play pentomino, and challenge your reflexes as blocks fall at random speeds. The traditional set of blocks are mixed with "surprise blocks" which you have to quickly find a place for in the grid. Even the individual block tiles are purposefully vague and hard to distinguish to add to the chaos. The game is very challenging to ones reflexes. The goal is to keep your grid under control as long as possible so that you can continue scoring on pedestrians. Only those with quick fingers can survive.

]]> 15 Jan 2007 07:29:55 Spore Spore is a computer and video game under development by Maxis, and designed by Will Wright. It simulates the complete history and future of life according the evolution theory. Its concept, scope, and development philosophy (broad use of procedural generation) has drawn wide attention.

Spore is, at first glance, a "teleological evolution" game or god game: the player molds and guides a species across many generations, growing it from a single-celled organism into a more complex animal, until the species becomes intelligent. At this point the player begins molding and guiding this species' society, progressing towards a spacefaring civilization. Spore's main innovation is the use of procedural generation for many of the components of the game, providing vast scope and open-endedness. Wright said "I didn't want to make players feel like Luke Skywalker or Frodo Baggins. I wanted them to be like George Lucas or J.R.R. Tolkien."
