I just had an idea. While I was on wikipedia I noticed the 'Random Article' button and realized that this is what we need for TDC! A 'Random Game' button would spice things up for all of us and would revive some old games from the grave.

Problem is, a "random game" button would bring up a lot of games no longer online.

Iiiiis it possible to have an URL checker? A random game url would only work on that list.

You could compile an enormous list and update it frequently or have it only choose out of recent games.

or setup a 'report bad link' button so the list of working urls would sort itself out eventually Edited by the Author.

It is possible to check if a URL works, well in php at least anyway.

Great idea Reno. Yes the system where we report bad links might actually work as long as you admins don't mind checking them.

Yes, Clubsoft.
I'm not sure how good a system the report link thing would be. What if people fix their link?

The game will still be there, but it will be flagged "broken" and left out of the random games list until the author or an admin fixes it.

So the "broken" flag will turn off when the author changes the url? I suppose that would work.
Or perhaps it can just generate a random ID for the url and then sort through a list of broken IDs to see if it should choose a different one rather than making a "broken/not broken" flag for every single game.
