Heey floa. I think that AI will not be implemented right now (correct me if I'm wrong ^^), so I won't add the com powerup. But I defenitely like your second idea!!
I S R A E L: It's already on the list, if I'm correct ;)
And Quixy, I already thought about something like that:
27. Stuck (green and red) by me post #34
27.1 Green: When picked up, the player will stop moving for a short period of time (2 secs). A little arrow will indicate the direction in which the snake-head will continue moving, this direction can be changed while Stuck.
Red: when picked up, Enemy players will stop moving for a short period of time (2 secs). A little arrow will indicate the direction in which the snake-head will continue moving, this direction can be changed while Stuck.
Maybe we can think of improvements or other versions :)
you know it: if there are only two players left, the chances that one takes an eraser and the game will continue for some minutes is high.
So my suggestion: extending the eraser powerup:
if there are only 2 player left, the screen will be erased, but all lines will be redrawn! such that you kind of have a replay runnning in the background, while the last players are fighting.
if the replayed lines hit something, they are not going to die, but just fligh long anoth until they can be drawn persistent...
This is a blue powerup and when you take it the screen turns 90 degrees to the left. When you take it again and again and again you have the normal screen as now :D
ok there is allready a screen flip powerup which switches the sides, vertically, horizontally or through the midpoint. your suggestion sould be placed there also.
I m also thinking of a variant of the screen flip powerup: only the lines will be flipped, the powerups stay at the same place, so you can get powerups that are on the other side of the screen, or another variant: the powerup just change the positions of the powerups, without redrawing the lines
Hey guys, thanks for the ideas :) give me a sec (takes longer then you think xd) and it's updated ^^
34 minutes later xd
konecHarry: The bouncer idea already existed under 33. Bumper. I added your extended version of the eraser under 3.2. Added your flipping ideas under 16.4 and 16.5 in horizontal flipping mode.
Only slightly related: an area where players never draw a curve.
So there would be a small circle (or any other form) in the playing field where players can go through as often as they want. (obviously this area would have to be smaller than a full curve)
This might also be a sort of pseudo-power-up, which does not get 'picked up' and disappear but instead remains where it is and can be passed over for as long as it stays there (which might be a limited time interval)
I added this: The outer circle of the area may indicate the time remaining.
Erasing snake (green)
This is like "Eater" except to clarify that in addition to being able to "eat" through other lines, the erasing snake actually erases them and leaves no line of its own, i.e. others should be able to follow the path of the erasing snake exactly. The width of the erased line should be the width of a regular hole.
This powerup does not give immunity upon hitting sides.
It will also create a dimension of strategy so that holes can be created in other people's camps to be exploited.
Controlled gaps powerup (insert more creative name here :P): when collected, the player will be able to leave a gap on his own line, by pressing the designated key (space for example). For a limited times of course (1-2, even 3). The gap would appear in front of your line, right when you pressed the button. Also, to be more useful, it could be a bit larger than standard gaps.
We all know those lucky situations when you're about to hit a line, and then suddenly! there is a gap and you're saved. It would be the same thing, but controlled :).
Nitro: the same thing like in car racing games. When you collect this powerup, a small nitro-meter would appear which shows the amount of nitro you have. It could be actioned by pressing space button.
I would like to point out that any form of AI (Artificial Intelligence) in powerups is not possible for a very long time, so I won't add these suggestions to the list, sorry...
As for suggestions which include the use of any other button then the 2 steering keys, for example spacebar, these suggestions I won't add either. Two reasons. First, it will overcomplicate the simple and elegant gamedesign. Second, playing with more people on one keyboard gets a lot harder. I hope you'll understand this.
I will add this information to the introduction of this thread.
der Painter: your idea already existed. Big hole means drawing no line :)
19. Eater (green) by me ;) post #12,17
19.2 The player will be able to eat through lines while being a big hole for a period of time.
Ik think something similar already exists, but I'll look into it later!
EDIT - This already exists:
4. Stealth by Brouns
(green)
4.1 You will be invisible to yourself and others for a short period of time, after this the traveled distance will be visible again.
4.2 You will be invisible to others, but not to yourself for a short period of time, after this the traveled distance will be visible again.
(green and red)
4.3 Green, see 4.1 or 4.2. Red, the others can't see themselves, only you are visible for a short period of time, after this the traveled distances will be visible again.
(green, red and blue) 4.4 Shadow Master by salietje post #81
Makes you/other/all a black line, you're not invisible, but it's hard to see yourself and others.
Item Remover: Blue item. When picked up, all other items on the screen will disappear. Could be helpful when you see that an enemy is about to get a red fast or an invisible item.
Item Changer: Blue Item. When picked up, all other items on the screen will change to a different random item.
38. Item Remover (blue) by Shivers post #83
38.1 When picked up, all other items on the screen will disappear. Could be helpful when you see that an enemy is about to get a red fast or an invisible item.
39. Item Changer (blue) by Shivers post #83
39.1 When picked up, all other items on the screen will change to a different random item.
Reset: blue PU: resets the PU duration to default. ( like you are using 2 sec speed and when someone taking that blue PU it will start from begin)
Can be also added as making 2x and 0.5x duration and red/green
For the last powerup on the list, (death) which kills a random player, you could implement it so no-one gains any points when he is killed, (and possibly to make it more fair, that player gains 1 pt...) to make the powerup fairer
42.2 Kills a random player, possibly including the player who picks it up. The randomly killed player gets an extra point, other players don't get a point for his death.
You can maybe make a gamemode of this. I'll explain in Dutch ;)
Turn gamemode:
Je speelt als normaal, maar dan zonder ronde bochten. iedereen begint met bochten van 90 graden. al pak je een groene powerup met daarop +10 graden; maak je bochten van 100 graden. Er zijn ook rode powerups van deze soort. (te snel uitgelegd, moet eten)
You know which powerup idea I really like? The Prince of Persia effect described in a post above (seem to be unable to find it), that all players go back in time ~10 seconds (actually lag does almost the same haha, but that's an unwanted power-down). Players who died in this period are able to play again and you get like a 2 seconds big hole.
I don't think this powerup will come soon, it requires a lot of extra code, like a replay system. This is also extra load for the server. But I like the idea too :)
I don't think this powerup will come soon, it requires a lot of extra code, like a replay system. This is also extra load for the server. But I like the idea too :)
The server must remember the last 10 seconds played, and then not show any of that powerup for 10 seconds at least. (to prevent going back in time further)
43. 45 degree turns (green and red) by benniegek post #97
43.1 Green: Makes your turn 45° to left or right. Red: Makes the turn of your enemies 45° to left or right.

Saturday CurveFever!!!! (saturday night fever)
What about a freeze powerup?
The enemy players are frozen and they can't move for a few seconds.
Example:
In the first photo, it looks like red will lose.
But then it picks the freeze powerup and the pink and green player are frozen.
Then, the pink player will lose.
i like the bounce powerup!
Great you like the powerups :)
And Quixy, I already thought about something like that:

5.3 - (green/red) - larger holes for a period of time
Viigoor
Thanks Viigoo for reposting it here ;) I'll add it to the list.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new split powerup, introduced in http://curvefever.com/content/should-angle-split-power-be-changed.
xx. NewSplit (green) by Quixy
2. 
3. 
xx.1 Bigger hole after pickup and splits randomly in option 1, 2 or 3.

A replay feature and powerup! what do you think?
and new powerup: the bouncer:
if you hit a wall, having a bouncer on you, you are going to bounce off the wall, with the angle you hit the wall.
like so: |<
| is the wall, and
< is your line, bouncing off the wall
hope you understand what i mean
Powerup: Back in time (blue)
If you pick it up - you and all the players get back to the situation ( like 5 secs or 10 secs- no matter) back
(Just like in the prince of persia : sands of time :P) - lol.

a powerup making you win the game ! if you catch it you win, avaiable for green and red, if you take the red one enemy wins!
j/k xD
Haha that powerup should have a spawn chance of 0,25% hahah
Or only be available in red so you can only make your enemy win, so the space it spawned is taboo :D
Not sure if anybody came up with this before:
Controlled gaps powerup (insert more creative name here :P): when collected, the player will be able to leave a gap on his own line, by pressing the designated key (space for example). For a limited times of course (1-2, even 3). The gap would appear in front of your line, right when you pressed the button. Also, to be more useful, it could be a bit larger than standard gaps.

Auto pilot: the name tells a lot. Not sure how exactly would work, or how it would be useful or fun. It's just an idea to be extended
Nitro: the same thing like in car racing games. When you collect this powerup, a small nitro-meter would appear which shows the amount of nitro you have. It could be actioned by pressing space button.
auto pilot and nitro are definitely overpowered

Why no Bounce powerup? I liked it :(
Saturday CurveFever!!!! (saturday night fever)
I said this earlier:
Powerup Number 33 on the list is almost exactly the same as the bouncer powerup, it already exists. That's why I don't need to add it to the list.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQO-aOdJLiw aka garion992
Haha westel is accually me i din't know how to log in :P
So it was a joke haha. BTW.
I HOPE THAT THE BUMPER POWERUP WILL BE USED! AND THAT WESTEL WILL BE CHANGED IN BENNIEGEK

Heey benniegek,
Thanks for your interest :) I gave you the credits for PU 33, I think it's a good idea ^^

Yeah and it might make the game way more complicated, as when you are dead, you're not truly dead for 10 more seconds...
Or someone wins -> takes replay on accident, then what? :p
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Please add this:
45 degree turns (Green)

I'm not sure how this works, I'll ask it :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQO-aOdJLiw aka garion992
I think that is not server-side.
Correction: Yeah forgot about correcting this, it is indeed server sided.
~.~
I'm pretty sure it is server-sided, since every players goes back the same amount of time...
