HOCKEY CARD GAME IN WHC

Posted on by

To make World Hockey Championship more fun, we have included a series of mini games including a Rewards Wheel, Reward Calendar, Scratch & Score and the Hockey Card game.   Everyday you come back to the reward wheel you win coins and collect a hockey card.

You can trade in cards to get prizes.   Let me explain how you get cards, trade in cards and get rid of cards.

How To Get Cards

To get a card you will spin the ‘Rewards Wheel,’ which will give you a prize and a hockey card.  You can spin the reward wheel once every 24 hours.  You can win or buy extra spins (which guarantees one hockey cards per a spin).

Once the wheel stops and you see the coin reward and card, you will collect your winnings.

The card you receive will show up in the Hockey Card Game.   You can access this by going to the mini games from Main Menu. Click on the ‘Mini Games’ button and you will see all 4 games show up. Click on Card Games.

Types of Cards

There are 6 cards you can collect. Each is a player in the hockey game.

  • LW - Left Wing
  • RW - Right Wing
  • LD - Left Defense
  • RD - Right Defense
  • C - Center
  • G - Goalie

You can keep up to 10 cards at any given time.  If you collect too many hockey cards, you will have to trade them in or delete them.

You have to make the decision on whether to trade more common hockey cards in for a lower prize or hold out and wait for a bigger prize without exceeding 10 cards.   If you have 10 cards, then any new cards won’t show up for you. It is always a good idea to make sure you have space for that golden hockey card.

How To Claim a Prize

You can view the prize listat the bottom of the hockey card game.   Once you have the right cards to claim a prize, click on the card and drag it down to one of the slots below.   You will notice the prize list will become smaller and will only show you the prizes you are eligible to claim.

 

Once you have all the cards needed to claim the prize, click on ‘Collect Reward’ at the bottom.

Now once the prize is claimed, you will go back to the hockey card game. You still have cards left and can use the remaining cards to collect another prize when you have the right hockey cards to trade in. If you have extra cards you do not want, let me show you how to delete them.

In this case here, you don’t have enough for another prize yet, but you’re one LW away from it, so keep coming back each day and spinning to collect more prizes.

How To Delete Hockey Cards

You can have a maximum of 10 cards at one time. If you have 10 cards, any new cards will not show up on your hockey cards list. It is always a good idea to have an open slot for new hockey games since you never know when you will get a rare card.

Click on the hockey card you want to delete and you will see a red X appear on the top right corner (the same way you delete an application on your phone). Then you choose all the cards you want to delete. In this case we have 2 Center and 2 Right Defense, so let’s delete a C and RD.

Once you have chosen the hockey cards you want to delete, you will click on the red X. A confirmation screen will confirm you want to delete these cards. Once you delete them, you can never get them back again.

Now you have a good idea on how the hockey card collecting game works, how to get hockey cards, trade in hockey cards for prizes and delete them if you don’t have enough.

This is just one of the many ways to have fun with World Hockey Championships outside the main game play.

 

How To Get Daily Coins in The Reward Calendar

Posted on by

You may have seen the idea of coming back each day to get coins and the more days you come back in a row, the more coins you get. We’ve put a Mokool Sports Games twist on this concept to let players get free coins and help support the game through our sponsors.

You will come back each day to collect coins/bucks. You watch a short sponsor ad from our partners and as a thank you for watching that video you will get free coins or bucks. Each day you come back in a row, you will earn more coins.

If you miss a day and were on a hot streak, we offer buying Missed Day Passes. This way you can get a pass on the missed day and keep on playing.

You can access the reward Calendar from the Main Menu > Mini Games > Rewards Calendar

How to get coins playing Scratch & Score

Posted on by

The Scratch and Score card lets you earn more prizes. You can win 100 coins up to 500,000 coins by scratching 3 of the same number.

Here is an example of a Mokool Sports Game Scratch Card for World Hockey Championships

How To Get Scratches:

  • You will get free scratches when you play for the first time
  • You can trade in hockey cards to get scratches
  • You can buy scratches (on the Scratch and Score page)
  • Sometimes we randomly surprise you with them

You can access the reward Calendar from the Main Menu > Mini Games > Scratch & Score

How To Get Daily Coins with The Reward Wheel

Posted on by

The spin wheel is a classic game seen everywhere be we’ve put our own spin on it and call it the Reward Wheel in World Hockey Championships.

 

You can get 1 free spin on the wheel once every 24 hours or buy more spins to spin more often. Once you spin it, the countdown starts again and after 24 hours you are free to spin the wheel and claim more prizes.

What is a hockey game without collecting hockey cards? The Rewards wheel has two wheels inside it, both move in opposite directions and you end up with 2 guaranteed prizes each time you spin.

Prize 1 – You win Coins

Each time you spin the reward wheel you will get a certain amount of coins.   The amount of coins will vary based on how lucky you get – a pre-spin ritual can always help.

Prize 2 – You win a hockey card

Each time you spin, you also get a hockey card. It’s the only way to a free one, but if you want more spins (which means more prizes!) and hockey cards, you can always purchase more.

After you spin the Rewards Wheel, you will claim your prize.

 

It is well worth coming back each day and taking a spin at the wheel and see where you end up.

You can access the Reward Calendar from the Main Menu > Mini Games > Rewards Wheel

World Hockey Championships and Early User Testing Feedback Game Play Testing Challenges

Posted on by

The Making of WHC

Testing the game is an important part of the process. If you want to help test, please Visit – Become A Beta Tester

There are so many different types of testing, from technical to user experience. The testing here involves real people seeing the game and giving their feedback on it. In the process so far, and we are just getting started, I have learned so much and will share it.

Game Feel – Being a multiplayer game, you require wto people to play (we are working on a AI portion later on for single players). So testing as a single person becomes a little tricky. I tried to make a video and share it with people, but it was hard to get a real feel for it from a video. It was also hard to get a feel when you cannot play multiplayer yet. Okay, so we are asking for feedback too early, so now we are planning to wait.

Game Polish – The most common feedback I got was that there were no sound effects and a lack of animation on the game. This was a known ‘incomplete’ as we have not put the final touches to the game or added sounds yet.  We want to get the basics down first then we will do this. Again, too early on testing.

Only One First Impression – So we are asking people to test the game, but you only get one chance to make a first impression. We may soon run out of people to test, and if you want to beta test – do sign up at Become A Beta Tester. We are always looking for people to test the game and give us valuable feedback. Next time, I would wait a little longer before actually showing it to people.

Who Are Your Game Testers – You may remember the episode of Silicon Valley where they only asked engineers to test it and the user experience was just terrible for everyday users like Monica. Well, we tried to give it to both end users, explaining ‘hey, this is not the final product’ but it was hard for some end users to get that it was not done. I am guilty of being a visual person myself. :). I also handed it to people in the industry and they are like, ‘we can’t test it on video or single player’.

So we are working on making it multiplayer before trying to test it again. This is tricky since some programming can just be tweaked and others just have to be written again. We are hoping that most of it will be tweaks; however, our goal is an amazing user game experience.

I am pretty excited about the game experience so far. I am sensing it will give a real hockey feel to the game. This is something a little more tricky on mobile, however I think we have nailed it, but will know for sure only when it hits the market. Feedback is always welcome.

We have gone through several versions of the game play and completely changed the physics on how it was going to work before we started coding. This was a very good thing since if we had gone with our original game play, we would have had to scratch it and start on the new plan again. The goal of the game play was a hockey like feel and to be unique to other game plays on the market. I cannot wait to show it to you.

If you’ve got feedback, please do share it with me.

The Technical Challenges of Creating World Hockey Championships Part 1

Posted on by

The Making of WHC

The game’s progress is coming along and we are working on the core part which is the game play. In this part we have faced many technical issues, some of which I will explain in this blog post.

The game play is the most important part of the whole project. It also creates the most issues in programming and designing. I feel like we still have a ways to go on the game play even with the great progress we have already made.

So let me discuss a few of the technical issues we have faced

Mirroring – This is when one user’s screen is shown on another user’s device. So if one user changes their player position on their device, it will be repeated on the other user’s screen in exactly the same way.

If two players are playing on the same device, this is much easier as the screen size is the same, however, different screen sizes and devices exist. The iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 Plus are two different sizes. The iPhone 6 Plus is longer than the iPhone 5, so we have to match it up.

Servers – We are using Amazon AWS and it has some limitations which we are working through. Keeping up to date on latest updates and patches from Amazon is critical to avoiding issues. This project has been running for almost 2 years and in that time, things change, they change a lot. So we need to make sure we are keeping up with what is happening with the server resources.

Real Time – The game includes real-time chat. The users can chat with each other in pre-set chat boxes. This seems simple, right? Well, the conversation is in real time, so it needs to appear on the other user’s device so they can respond back. We need to decide how long will it show for, make sure it shows immediately and connect the devices.

Updated Stats – The team worked on making sure the stats are up to date. Like a real hockey game experience, we keep track of users’ shots, goals, shutouts and, of course, Goals Against Average.  f a user quits half way through a game OR loses their internet connection, we need to make sure these stats are accurate, therefore it needs to be updated in real time. If a user quits, the goals, shots and other stats are counted towards the stats of the game  Keeping stats is an important part of the hockey experience.

Player Movement – We are still working on the game play so this is work in progress, however we have changed the way the game play will work. How the player moves? How will they pass? How to control the goalie? This is all interactive with each other to create the game play experience. It has to balance being easy enough that it is understandable by the player and still replicate the hockey game experience.

These are a few of the technical issues that we have faced in creating the game play experience for this game. We are getting through the most critical part of this project and slowly making good progress.

The Making Of World Hockey Championships Update 4 – Missions and Achievements

Posted on by

The game is coming along nicely. I am working more on adding content to the missions of the game.

World Hockey Championships is going to have three types of missions. The goal of the mission it to keep users engaged longer in the game and make it just so much more fun.

Player Missions

There are ongoing missions that helps players progress. At any given time, the player will have only three missions. Once they complete a mission, a new one will appear.

IMG_3771

Daily Missions

The daily missions are another way to earn free coins and they give players a goal for that day. There will only be three different missions to complete in that day and will earn a coin amount for completing all three daily missions

IMG_3772

Achievements

These are ongoing missions to complete in the game like scoring a certain number of goals or winning a certain number of games. These achievements are accomplished as the player plays to win in the game.

IMG_3773

The goal of all three of these missions is to make the game a more fun user experience and keep them coming back and playing more.

If you’ve got a great idea for a player mission, daily mission or achievement in World Hockey Championships, please let us know.

 

Cheers,

Mukul
