Ok scoring options.
Maybe add in a switch into a config file or something for different ways to score.
option 0 score stuff the way it is now.
option 1 Add the ricochet points for the decap disc maybe make the decapper disc 2 points anyway just because you only have one of them so you should get an extra point anyway.
option 2 Add up the number of times you hit someone in a game but don't kill them, at the end of the round they are added onto your score. How many times have you hit someone 3 or 4 times not killing them, wouldn't you like the points for that?
option 3 A combo of all the above
Any one have any other suggestions for scoring?
Now for deathmatch. Something I consider a bug that I would like to see fixed is the ability to basically just run around for a long time with all the powerups. You know get all 4 power ups and use them, and pick up a new now and then while you still have the 4 and it just renews them so you can keep using them.
What about having some sort of timer that resets your discs back to normal ones every minute. So that you can't hold onto all the powerups for the whole game.
Idea for a new powerup "deathblossom" Its like from the movie The Last Starfighter. You turn around in one spot really fast firing out for a few seconds till all your discs are gone. We could put in say 20 discs and its a one use item either push discs or decap and in say 2 or 3 seconds it fires out all the discs.
