And for the rest who achieved max scores by not cheating, I would appreciate it alot if you can share your experience with us, on how you go about buying, healing and paying off debts. These statistics can provide me more details to getting the game to run with fair difficulty.

Lastly, the score charts ranks both money and days, so iDope will not have a 30 day game over limit, and instead will expire when your health is 0.

Hi luiz,

It is working. Only if your scores are updated on the board. I have flushed the database twice yesterday and today to clear off the maximum scores.

I am quoting myself to bring my post onto this new page.

Well I figured out how to change the permissions, but they were already set to 755, i messed around with it and got iDope to work with the permissions set to 777. So if anyone's having trouble, try that.

Am I missing something?

I have the same problem. Anyone?

Also, I did find it extremely easy.

Excellent work BTW!

I legitly got the max score in 30 days. Extremely easy, and I don't see how one couldn't get the high score. Just use all your money to buy low and sell high. LSD is a good start up buy. Depends though, other cheap ones are good too. Then you just buy anything that'd cheap and sell when you see the price is up. Paid off the debt all at once at around day 10. Healing was easy too, considering how much money you get.

Hi 5h00p3r man,

Maybe you can explain alittle about your strategy? Because I myself, as the dev of the game couldn't get to the highscore. (i admit). I need to try it for myself to see how easy it is.

Pretty much exactly like he said above. For the most part I played the same way and had my loan payed off and the high score in about 15 minutes. Buy low, sell high. Keep on your health.

Another little thing I noticed. At the hospital, If I'm at 100% health (or whatever health) If I get 10, 25, or 50 health, it keeps adding up. Say 185%. BUT! While at 185%, if I purchase 100%(full health), it puts me back to 100% instead of 285%. Hope this makes sense.

Anywho, other than these issues (top menu crash too) this is going to be awesome once it get the bugs worked out. I love it now, just too easy.

when i pay some amount to the loan sharks, it shows the same debt and cash as before in the loan shark screen until i go to some other screen and go back to loan shark to see the updated debt and cash. hope this gets solved out and and the bugs informed bu Doolang667 are also present. another bug is that when i go to buy something and once any of the four option (buy all, sell all, buy, sell) are selected and i do not have enough money, i first need to select zero items, then some other tab and then the amount of the stuff and option i wanted to select. i would love to do a review with video on this app when a bit more stable version is out. hope my 2 cents help in improving the application.

Thanks for all the feedbacks,

Recently iDope got some reviews and most of them thinks the iDope should be offer more than it does now, I hope these guys can understand that I am a student which does not have prior programming education, all the programming is entirely learnt in my free time. Not to mention that I am doing iDope at my very limited leisure time, a one man team can only achieve this much.

Secondly, to my surprise, my hoster renamed several files on the wkLive server because they think it is taking too much of their bandwidth. I am very pissed with their actions, and am thinking of switching to a better hoster.

Hope you guys understand the wkLive service downtime, as well as why the game does not live up to expectations.

hey,
it would be very good if the bugs are solved before adding new features. is these bugs are solved it would be the best game for me to play on my phone. dont get dissapointed.
cheers

One thing that would help limit how quickly would be to have the jacket limit/upgrade from the original game.

But the health never reaches 0, its to easy now. Im on day 103 and has 2147483647$.. I would prefer to have a time limit, that way everyone has the same condition (prerequisite, better word?) and its more about dealing skills .. "how much could you deal in 30 days"....

And in the original game you can only carry 100 drugs in you coat from the beginning, then you can buy a bigger coat (so you can carry 125, 150, 175, 200 and so on). The bigger coat you have the more expensive it should be to upgrade. As it is now, if you have 8475629483 you can easily double it by buing 169512589 LSD for 50 and sell for 100.

When you have 3795873985739875 $ the game is just not realistic and its hard to tell your friends that you got (humm.. i dont know what to call that number) points. In the original you could make a couple milion $ if you where good, thats it.

Also, you sould be able to earn more money by dealing the more expencive drugs, now it doesent matter what drug you are dealing, buy LSD for 50 and sell for 100 and you earn equal as if you bought Cocaine for 1500 and sold for 3000, because you get more LDS than Cocaine. The only way to fix that is to put a limit on how much you can carry.

hey,
cool, these are really good suggestion and maybe easy to implement but i dunno as i am not a developer.
thanks

[smirkis]

hey i appreciate your work. i spent all day yesterday playing it and showing it off to all my friends. this is truely my newest fav game for the iphone.

one complaint i have for sure, is the 999 buy limit. lift that to something way higher, because when i have lots of money, i needa buy 999 at a time and do it 75 times before im happy lol. its way more time consuming, and i'd like to jus go ahead n buy 80,000 of an item if i choose to.

i know its been mentioned, but i jus wanted to share. the health glitch is kinda cheating lol. when i have mad loot i jus spike my health to over 500 or so n don't think about it for a long time. i wish there were news updates like the real game that tells u about sales n demand n stuff. when u pay the loan shark, it pays him off but doesn't show the difference til you back out to the jacket. either way great freakin job man. this game is already fun as crap, but wish there was a more feasable high score so i can actually try to get on the list rather then know other people cheated there way on the list. maybe after the next release, you should wipe the high scores
