Bring me back!
florida to california to florida to texas is still a valid journey from florida to texas
not the preferred one but it is A path
longest player scan i got.
also veritasium made a video on how it only takes 6 connections to get from one person to another
also maybe add a feature where after the path to the target is found you should check if any node is connected to any of the others to shorten the path.
e.g. player1 → player72 → player23 → player8
search concluded but player72 is a friend with player 8.
Haha thats what inspired me to make this game, thought the topic was very interesting.
Weird, ill fix that soon. Not sure how it managed to even do that lol.
Holy @pullman45 Thank you for the crazy donation
Also it shows the accurate number now lol, put the wrong Id before i believe
you are way too close to alexnewtron
Published another update
-
Added 2 new advanced settings:
- Ignore Friends - Lets you treat players as if they weren’t actually friends with the starting user (They will still appear in chains, but not as friends, just random players. Basically you cant go from the starting player to the ignored user directly)
- Quick search - An experimental setting im working on, which will eventually just replace the current searching system. It SHOULD be quite a bit faster, especially as you perform more searches since it takes some data from your previous searches (Does not save on rejoins). It might stop for a few secconds sometimes, due to the roblox rate-limits, but it shouldnt entirely break. Let me know if it works better than the normal search.
-
Fixed an issue with friends of the starting player sometimes being somewhere in the middle of the chain. Should be more accurate now, and show the actual shorter chain.
-
The connection chain now has a little animation instead of instantly appearing
-
Improved some UIs
-
Fixed some small issues with the blacklist setting
As always, let me know what else should be added
And thank you to everyone who checked out the game! I appreciate it!
Pretty sure it should be fixed now
Yup, most people are suprisingly connected in ~6 steps, its quite crazy.
Also heres a funny chain lol, Id never expect the weekend to appear
OH MY GOD 100 PATHS IN 10 SECONDS (also shayph is my friend so im so close to haz3mn lol)
literally on other occasion it scanned 10k players in under 0.6 seconds
btw the bug is still there (shayph and deeterplays are friends)
Ohhhh right, I only made it double check the friends with the starting user. Ill fix that in the next update.
Its 30 to the power of 6, thats 729 million which is 2 USAs
(literally insane lol)
Does anyone have any ideas for stuff that could actually keep players engaged for a bit longer?
My friend made a video and its doing quite well, boosted the players a bit.
It’s a tool not a game so it won’t really be that big on roblox no matter what you do
I think best thing you can do is add fun stuff though so the people that do find it like it a lot
What about leaderboard of longest chains or something
Yeah im aware of that, It wont keep players for long but should still get some players here and there.
Still trying to think of some ideas though.
Could add leaderboards for all of the statistics, might do that. Would have to make some changes to how the data is saved first, its not really well protected atm.
