Challenge Mode in BigBox

[Matias Piens]

Hello,

We should have feature / mode called ‘'Challenge Mode '’

The user needs to finish some games to access a new platform.

I would like to make my son discover all the retro games but only by step.

For example:

To access the SNES platform we need to finish 5 NES Games selected by the administrator .

or By year

You can only see the platform or games present in 1991 and if you want to see everything that happened in 1992 , you need to finish 2 games by platform or play 100h in total to access this option.

‌

Something like that was present in the SNES mini, that you need to finish starfox to access to Starfox 2

‌

‌

Thanks in advance

Leaving open to allow people to vote on the issue, but I would not expect this to get implemented in the mainline app and will probably require someone writing a plugin to do so. We also have no way a game is “completed” short of you checking the box, so it’d be easy to get around any logic like that but just mass editing the complete state.

Hello,

Yes, the user need to check the box manually when he finish a game, but in the other side , if the user spend time to configure this challenge and cheat by checking all the boxes, he do not need this mode .

In the scenario you gave the user with the ability to turn this feature off and on (you) is NOT the same user as this mode is being imposed on (your son) and so the path of least resistance for some one not wanting to use this mode is readily available (marking games complete regardless if they did) making the mode pretty moot.
