jray21 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I was playing with this this past week while waiting for rides and a show to start! It's really a great way to pass time at the parks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel46 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I downloaded the game several weeks ago and it's a very fun game, but I have a problem: I don't know anything about the American units like feet or mph. I'm using meters and km/h and when there is a question about the height, length or speed of a coaster I can't answer the question, although I sometimes even know the exact answer, but not in the American units. For example: I see a picture of Dodonpa and the question is "How fast does this roller coaster go?" I know that the top speed of Dodonpa is 172 km/h, but all the possible answers are given in mph and so I have to guess the answer, although I exactly know how fast Dodonpa goes. Same problem goes with length and height questions. This is kinda frustrating me and I'm kindly asking if you could bring an update that lets me choose of American and metric units if that wouldn't be a problem. Regards, a guy from Germany who doesn't know anything about the American units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 ^ Sorry, that's just not going to be possible. The work that would be involved to create an additional version of the game for metic units, and then have to have duplicate versions of each question, would be way more than I'd be able to produce at this time. That's new front end screens, new gameplay coding, new question data, duplicate spreadsheets, more testing time and fact checking, etc. I'm only one guy developing this app, and we have a lot of other things that we have going on at the same time. Please remember, the game is "free." But glad you liked the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel46 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Well, I guess I'll just have to learn the American units then. No, seriously, I can totally understand that this would be too much work. I also had some trouble with one of the additional question packs but I was able to fix that by myself. Overall I can say that the game is really well done and it's perfect for playing a quick round when I'm sitting in the bus on my way to school. And when there's a question about a coaster I've ridden by myself it makes me even happier. But there are also some questions aside from these height/length/speed questions where I'm like "How the heck am I supposed to know that?" For example: I see a picture of a coaster I don't know and the question is "What park is this coaster located at?" All the possible answers are Chinese parks whose names I can't pronounce and I obviously have never heard of. But that's not the game's fault, it's just a lack of my knowlegde. Great game, keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 At some point in the future, one workaround that avoids recoding and rebuilding might just be to list both units side by side on the answer button (Though that still means changes to the answer spreadsheet admittedly). Eg: "How fast does this ride go" - 100mph (160km/h) - 50mph (80km/h) - 75mph (120km/h) - 1000mph (1600km/h) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneRider92 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I love this app! It is supremely entertaining pulling this out and stunning my roommates and friends with a score roughly 10-12 times as high as theirs. Thanks for the awesome app Robb and all others involved!

rctneil Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I did rather well at this game whilst standing in the 40 minute line for Journey to the Center of the Earth at DisneySEA last month! Shame there was no network connection to submit my score. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfog1985 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I just updated my ipad mini to IOS7 today, and it seems like the trivia app doesn't like it. Each time I've tried it, it's just booted me back to the home menu when I try to start a game. It's too bad, since it's a nice way to kill a few minutes otherwise...

robbalvey Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 I really don't know what to say. It's working fine for me on my iPad 3. Have you tried doing a hard reset? (Hold the top power button and home button for 10 seconds?) Here are photos from my iPad 3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfog1985 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 When I tried it again later (doing a hard power off/on in the process since I don't usually leave the ipad in stand-by), the app let me play one game of each type successfully, then kicked me out when I tried to switch back to photo trivia again. I guess it's just more finicky now, as I never had any problems with it on IOS 6.1.3. Edit: Updated to IOS 7.0.2 this morning, deleted and re-installed the app, and am still having the same crashing issues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
