Idle Rewards

Open in a new tab

Overview

This demo uses GS2-Idle to work out and grant the rewards that build up while the player is away. Every 5 minutes away is worth 5 coins, every 12th interval (once an hour) is worth 50 instead, and the count stops at 8 hours. Buttons move your clock forward so hours away happen at once, and the coins you receive land in a GS2-Money2 wallet.

How to try it

  1. Read the Rule under Idle rewards. Idle time shows how long you have been away out of the 8-hour cap, To receive shows the coins you could take now, and Next reward counts down to the next payout.
  2. Press Advance one hour to move your clock on GS2 forward one hour. Demo clock moves ahead, and To receive gains an hour’s worth: 11 intervals of 5 coins plus 50, for 105 coins.
  3. Press Receive; the coins go into Free balance under Where the coins land, and the idle count starts again from zero. Minutes short of a full 5-minute interval are dropped.
  4. Press Advance eight hours to reach the 8-hour cap; Idle time reads (full: receive to start counting again), and moving the clock further does not add to To receive.

The advance buttons change your account’s time offset. The account is shared by every showroom demo in the same browser, so the moved clock carries over to the other demos too.

GS2 services used

  • GS2-Idle: A GS2-Idle category defines the 5-minute interval, the 480-minute cap and the twelve interval rewards, and works out and grants what each player’s time away has earned.
  • GS2-Money2: Receiving the idle reward deposits free currency into a GS2-Money2 wallet (slot 0), which is shown as Free balance.
