[QUOTE="jburnette, post: 191903, member: 24356"] Glad you got it working! I'm not sure what caused you to have those bad values, but as long as it's fixed. Currently, there really isn't a way to win or lose. This game is based pretty much entirely on the game that ships on iPods. I'm not sure how this game would ever have a win/lose scenario. I suppose I could add like a 3 or 5 minute timer and you could play for the most points in that amount of time. Any suggestions other than that? As for the randomness of the songs - most of this is done by MediaPortal. The songs are never loaded into a list unless you restrict by genre. If you don't restrict by genre then the plugin uses the GetRandomSong function of the music database. What I could do is make sure that the same song is not picked again for at least 5 or 10 rounds. Personally I have not seen tracks get repeated but I have a lot more than 23 tracks in my database and never tried it with a small number. I'll add some logic to try to space out repeats and that will raise the chance of other songs getting played more. Thanks for the feedback! I really like the idea of a freeplay type mode. I'll definitely add that. I can also add an option to use songs specified in a playlist. [/QUOTE]
