What, you mean a kind-of action DROD?
I'm curious as to how it would play, but that's pretty-much breaking the whole idea of DROD. Still, as something seperate from the main game, it could work. Just not as a web-based representation of DROD.

Well... no, it isn't. It just means that a two seconds wait is equivilent to pressing 5. I think this is a good idea, although I would never be able to make my moves in two seconds. it would certanly be a good training in seeing solutions fast, although I guess some holds would be nearly unplayable. Two seconds...

Let me rephrase... only having 2 seconds to decide where to go removes the aspect of spending time over each move, making sure you know what you're doing. Take the thinking out of DROD, and you have an action game. I certainly couldn't play like that.

Have you ever heard about a chess clock? I can promis you that the guys playing timed chess don't think you have removed all the thinking from the game. To play Perfection in this mode you would have to be pretty smart. (Note that I'm too much of a slow thinker to use this, but I think it might be fun for those who are incredably fast and smart thinkers. I like DROD just the way it is).

Hmmm. Still, I couldn't play that fast.

Well, I think any timed movement would go against all things DROD (and probably the reason it was removed in the first place). DROD is a stepping game... there are plenty of non turn-based games out there for those who prefer pace.

Well, someone could cook up a quick AutoHotkey script that hits "5" if you don't hit one of the other numbermovement keys for some number of seconds if you'd like to try what it would be like...

(Probably best combined with some other hotkey to toggle this on/off...)

np: Move D - Nimm 2 (Kunststoff)

If you meant we'd have a hard time finding it (what it?), you would be right...

np: Move D - In/Out (Initial Mix) (Kunststoff)
