Before I say anything, click HERE to access the game, or hop on over to https://rida.dev/.

You can probably assume where the inspiration came from.

Two nights ago, a friend mentioned that we should play Uno together with our group. Of course, being friends solely online we couldn't meet in person and we didn't want to have to ask everyone to purchase the official Steam version. I searched, and searched and nothing turned up.

In my mind I was thinking Cards Against Humanity meets Kahoot meets skribbl.io style of game, but I just couldn't find anything. It was their ease of use, and cleanliness that I had in mind when I decided to create onu, and obviously that name is a little derivative and very temporary.

I worked on onu for a day straight, before it had most of its core functionality. There are multiple features I'd like to add however right now I'm attempting to get feedback on the quality of the game in its current state. Though, since upcoming features/fixes are relevant here I will link them.

Upcoming Improvements, Fixes & Features
italicized items are critical

Overall
  • Altering layout for shorter displays to prevent cards covering discard pile.
  • Night mode, for those late-night gaming sessions.
  • Adding a chat for public, and private matches.
  • Completely rebuild front end scripting.
  • Fixing Firefox bug where the code input does not work unless the code is pasted.
Matchmaking
  • Adding public matchmaking.
  • Adding a 6 player limit to lobbies.
  • The ability to play more games with the same group without recreating the lobby.
Gameplay
  • Allowing players to pull a new card instead of playing a wild card.
  • Displaying usernames near enemy hands when it's not their turn.
  • Improving wild card colour selection on mobile screens.
  • Adding a turn timeout.
  • Before a user's turn times out, shake their hand of cards.

Please, feel free to go ahead and give the game a go with some friends, provide feedback on anything from the website, to the gameplay, and please feel more than free to pitch your own ideas for the site.

I have posted the website on Reddit, and the general reaction was extremely positive and I'd be super excited to get some more feedback from a more critical viewpoint.

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Bump? Can I do that? I hope so...

Can't bump directly, there is a up thread button. But I really like this idea, would love to see different themes if possible. Also another suggestion is when you have a card where you can pick the color, make it so you click on the card first before picking the color

Gotcha, I don't see the "Up Thread" button in this forum, so I just went for it.
Different themes seems to be a popular request, I'll get working on it... time to let my creative side loose!
I see what you mean with the clicking the card first before picking the colour, that's currently how it works on mobile, I'll take a look into that and see which one I like better.

I like it, but, you need to add more color to it in some way, add customizeable themes, etc. Otherwise I like it!

More colour, and customizable themes... got it. Again, seems to be a popular request so I'll definitely get looking into it! Thanks for the feedback!

The design and the overall concept of the website looks fantastic.

However, for when someone uses a card it should go onto the left/right-hand side and be put into a pile so you know what card you put.

Also, you should add like shape into a corner so you can see what round you're on so it's pretty cool to know what round you're up to y' know.

There should also be a player list and some area where you can chat or something in an area on the website.

Overall, a nice job my man! This looks REALLY promising and I hope it turns out good.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback! I'm not tooooooo sure what you mean by making a pile which a users card goes when used, because I have the discard pile in the center...

Regarding round counting, I really like that one and it should be easy to implement! I'll get working on that. :)

Player chat is in the works! Thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it!

June 21, 2019 Patch Notes

With 4/6 of my finals done, my undivided attention over the past 24 hours I've had free has been the absolute redesign of the entire back end and front end.
As of today, they have been completely overhauled and brought onto the server.

Overall Changes
  • Front end scripting completely rebuilt.
  • Front end CSS, HTML completely rebuilt.
  • Now, minified CSS and Javascript is sent to the client.
  • Back end scripting, and constructors completely rebuilt.
  • Fixed Firefox bug in which the private game code could not be inputted.
  • Implemented player array correction, players now appear in the appropriate position on the virtual table.
  • Virtual table is now round-table styled.
  • Implemented improved mobile reading, though still needs more work for shorter displays.
  • Implemented loading screen, which disappears upon connection to server.
Matchmaking Changes
  • Added public matchmaking.
  • Implemented 6 player lobby limit.
  • Added a return-to-lobby system.
Gameplay
  • Added a turn timeout.
  • Added turn timeout indicator.
  • Added gameplay direction indicator.
  • Deck will now be regenerated upon depletion.
  • Added indicators when a players turn is skipped, or they must draw a card.
If you would like to try out the game this patch, click HERE.

No friends? No problem, before a bot system is implemented feel free to just open two tabs! :)

Onu is Uno backgrounds thats pretty cool :D

The website looks very nice I really like the theme of it. However, there is just this small thing that I would fix. It's nothing serious, just a visual bug.

The top of the text seems to be cut off but that should be an easy fix.

Good luck with it!
