  • Comments: Dear paul,I simply Love Your Game!!!!!! I figured out that there can be FoUr computers playing!!!Here are the buttons:T,P,PageUp and the button under the right shift and left of the right side control. Did you ever know that you could do that???you could improve the full version by making it more 3D. But your game is the best!!!!! HPOTTER

    Thanks!

    It had happened to me before, but I could not figure out how it had happened! Thanks for letting me know.

  • Comments: Great game! I tried 2000 gold balls, and it's InSaNe! I want to order it, but I spent all my money on... wait a minute, I never had any money in the first place -_-
    I'm impressed about how you avoided the copyrights by not using any names... I woudn't have thought of that. ~Matt P.S. I'm thinking about making incredibly stupid characters like flying dogs and an exact copy of the balls (closer than the ones already posted. red ball doesn't like right. hehe, confusing if you set it on 500 balls of each kind and make yourself a ball too... that would be even weirder than 2001 golden balls that I just tried)

    That is insane! :-)

    LOL!

    As for the characters, go for it! I'm hoping that more people make characters. In fact, I'm thinking about holding a characters contest!

  • Comments: dear paul are you working on any new games?if you are what are they?today i used 7000 black balls,7000 red balls and 7000 gold balls and the game went CRAZY!!!!it was madness!!!!!!but all the same the game ran smoothly and didnt sick!

    When I have time, I work on Broomsticks 3D. Once in a while I also make changes to the advanced demo of broomsticks.

    Wow, that is crazy! It's good to hear that you are having fun with the full version!

  • Comments: I have an idea to confuse people! replace the balls with characters and th charactrs with balls. I can see it now, the golden snitch scoops up Harry Potter and throws with into the hoop, which is now an ice cream cone... hehe.

    Yep, that can be done with the full version! :-)

  • Comments: The game won't work on my computer! Would the full version work?

    If the demo works, then the full version will work.

    If the demo does not work, it is probably your browser. Use either Internet Explorer or Netscape and also make sure that Java is enabled! Are you able to run other java applets?

  • Comments: New game I just thought of! set the game on two player, and using on of the players, roundup all the red balls (I tried with 6000 red balls, they covred the whole screen like army ants getting ready for battle) it's fun. my personal favorite is 300 bludgrs and 1000 red balls...

    300 black balls sounds like a bit too much. :-) One of my favorite games is 100 red and only a few black (like 5). That way, you are racing against your opponent to grab as many red balls as possible!

    Download a characters image and modify it in your favorite image editor (Paint, Photoshop, etc).

  • Comments: Paul, It's a great game. Remember that question in November about the DBZ game. It stands for Dragonball Z. (great tip, huh? don't answer) I really like your game. In the Broomsticks 3D game keep it the same but still have a red ball a gold ball and 2 black balls. -Ted

    Thanks Ted! I will look it up (DBZ).

    I do plan to add those to the Broomsticks 3D when I get a chance.

  • Comments: another game I just thought of. 20 bludgers and 20 quaffles. each player sits on the bottom of the field, then tries to touch the top without hitting a black ball or grabbing a red one. HARD! great game, but I wish that the golden nitch option was still on...

    That would be challenging, especially if you made the field very tall.

    Really, with all of the options in the Full Version, the possibilities are endless! :-)

    Thanks! I have thought of that. Actually, I can run my Broomsticks 3D in the CAVE!

  • Comments: One more thing... would it be possible to somehow make it so the golden ball doesn't get stuck in the corner when you fly after it?

    The gold ball avoids the players, and so you have to either corner it or chase it into another teammate. Otherwise, it would be too easy to catch. I'll think about it some more. Maybe there's a better way to do it.

  • Comments: Dear paul,I think you should upgrade Broomsticks full version to broomsticks 2002.Where it is more 3d and more people can play at once and,you can pass the ball And be able to have three players to a team and one player on each team that can be a player that knocks the black balls away.(Just a suggestion) 8-) HPOTTER

    Those are good suggestions. Thanks!

    It would be too much for the demo, but I could do something like that for the full version. However, you can also just run another program like WinAmp while you play.

  • Comments: Dear Paul, can you upgrade a new version of broomsticks3d but make teams like broomsticks exept complely 3d instestead of 2d?also could you use beater bats if you upgrade it?by the way How did you make speed 10 in the speed game for broomsticks if anybody could do it on computer could you tell me how?! :-(i really like your game Paul!) ;) HPOTTER

    I'm glad you like the full version! I do plan to make improvements to Broomsticks3D soon.

    To get higher speeds, you first need to install broomsticks. Then, on the page where you choose the options for a particular game, right click and choose "View Source". You can then edit the file and change the default speed.

  • Comments: WOW! Talk about a tough game, I just tried playing a setting on the full version that was the hardest version of single-player broomsticks I've encountered. Try playing the mini setting, but adjusting the max speed to 8. The game will go so fast, and the computer will play extremely well at this setting. I hadn't lost a game to comp until I tried this setting and got mauled twice 50-0. Good luck!

    Yeah, that does sound tough! I'll have to try it out.

    Have you tried playing against two computer players?

  • Comments: o ya i keep forgetting to ask, what is the absolute maximum total number or number of each ball you can have in 1 game¿¿¿???¿¿¿

    There is no maximum, but your computer can only handle so many because each ball requires a little bit of memory and some processing. On my computer, it starts to slow down when there are more than a 1000 balls or so. However, it doesn't really make sense to use more than a 100 balls. That's wild enough! :-)

I also need some help,I should have told you before but i keep forgeting.when i change the players gif. with the paint option,i leave and save the changes but when i use the new players there is whit or gray corners around them What do i do?!:-0 i will be waiting for your reply'HPOTTER

    You are welcome.

    In my images, pure white is set as the transparent color. Either you used a slightly off white color for the background or maybe the transparent color got changed somehow. If you are using the Paint program, check under Image->Atributes.

    Also, if you want your players posted on the Broomsticks site, let me know!

HPOTTER P.S.I will be waiting for your reply :-)

    Sure! Go ahead and send me your image and I will fix it.

    Yep, that's why the normal max speed is 8. :-) With speed 10, when you have the ball you can't go full speed, making the game that much harder!
