Discussion for the game Farkle! by Gritty
Posts
thanks to everyone for keeping the game going while I was away. Glad to see it's still attracting new players and keeping some of the regulars. I cleaned up some of the old game logs. Fill! does this automatically (or it should, I have't checked yet), but it's a manual process for Farkle! right now. Keep rollin'!
So I started playing after i saw @stack 's post. today is my third day, and on round 10 I got a 3pair, followed by another 3pair, and then a straight. I did not believe my eyes when I saw those
I had the worst game ever today! I literally got 0. I couldn't believe bad luck could last the entire game, but it did.
It occurred to me today that I haven't seen "this guy", one of Farkle's (and Fill!'s) top regular players, on the leaderboards of either game for a while now. I checked and it appears that the last time they appeared on either games' leaderboard was July 16, about two weeks ago. Given how regularly they play (and they've been doing so since the Gamelog began, on both games), this feels rare and potentially concerning. Does anybody happen to know if they're okay? It feels very weird not seeing...
Bug: stack (who was joint 2nd place with me last game) didn't get any tournament points. Yesterday's games scores were: [preformatted] [gemini link] Game log for 2025-07-15 At the time, the tournament scores had mycrobe with 10 points, Sophira with 27 points, stack with 9 points, and BadAtFarkle with 10 points. However, the current tournament standings show that mycrobe (15 points), Sophira (30 points) and BadAtFarkle (11 points) got credited for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place respectively, while...
Bug: empty request during the game results in a blank page! This happens to me a lot because I use the Lagrange feature of ALT-1 being equivalent to clicking on the first link, and I speedrun through the game by hitting ALT-1 followed by 1 or 5 or whatever, and the final <ENTER>. When I go too fast for my own good I send a blank. I then have to back out or just type in 1 or whatever on the URL line...
I just noticed that the Game Stats page only goes up to 2025-01-10. Did the feature get removed then?
High score: 0 on Thursday... Interesting math ;)
I just took a look at the leaderboard, and apparently someone is on round 12 somehow... a new bug? EDIT: Never mind, it turns out it's just a display bug that hasn't been squashed yet, and that nobody actually gets more than 10 rounds. See this thread from a few weeks ago:
Should I roll guys??
I have a question regarding the way Farkle does its scoring. As you know, 111 and 1111 each equal the same score - 1000 points. However, scoring it as three 1s + an extra 1 would actually yield a higher score (1000 + 100). Is there a particular reason this isn't scored as such when entered?
Why is my game showing as '12' on today's list?
Score breakdown bug? — It's not a big deal, but when I scored 2 straights in a row today, the breakdown showed 6k points from straights instead of 3k (I rolled a third time so the final score was 3150). It still added the score correctly though.
Congrats @mycrobe!! 👍
- adjusts crown and takes selfie* thanks everybody and thanks @gritty for the update, much easier to play on mobile, although I think these new dice might be loaded, I keep getting farkled all of a sudden?!? 😅
Update — I'll be posting an update to Farkle today with two requested features: die-value selection input (vs position), and enable/disable of the logo and points table to assist smaller screens. If nothing breaks this should be up today...
Odd thing I noticed. I know we're all currently focused on fill, but I noticed on the farkle tournament board for this month, woz with 3 points is listed twice.
CGI error in user stats CGI error: Command '['./user_stats']' returned non-zero exit status 1
I'm finishing up testing on a dice game closely related to farkle. Hoping to deploy this week-ish, so I'll be looking for some testers if anyone is interested.
Farkle Monthly Tournament Results - Dec 2024 — Congrats to @smallpatatas on the win! Best of luck to everyone in January.
It's close. can mycrobe pull off the win? as it stands, it would be one point (3rd) for a tie.
Why is there a high score of 0?
Farkle - removing posts from Antenna — I've removed posting results to Antenna to help clean up the timeline. I tested on DSN but disabled that as well for the same reason. you can subscribe to the page directly if you'd like.
@drh3xx gets their 2nd tournament win, congrats!
There's been a proper fight for the top spot this month. Hope everyone's been enjoying it :)
