Airport Traffic Controller

August 28th 2009 08:52

Airport Madness

As an air traffic controller in this game, your job is to keep aircraft from colliding. You must give takeoff clearances, landing clearances and taxi clearances in an effort to maintain order where there is chaos.

Click on each aircraft to bring up its control panel. Arrivals will pretty much land themselves. All they need is a landing clearance. They will occasionally need to be pulled up when in danger of collision. Departures will wait at the gate to be given a taxi clearance.

The starting salary is $30,000 and the wage increases based on efficiency. Don’t make aircraft wait too long. Crashes will cost you big time, three and it’s game over.

Genre: Simulation
Time to Play: 15 minutes
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
Available From: freeonlinegames.com

Mastermind Online

August 26th 2009 08:25

Mastermind is a well known board game with two players. One player becomes the codemaker, the other the codebreaker. The codemaker chooses a pattern of four code pegs. Duplicates are allowed, so the player could even choose four code pegs of the same color. The chosen pattern is placed in the four holes covered by the shield, visible to the codemaker but not to the codebreaker.

The codebreaker tries to guess the pattern, in both order and color, within ten turns. Each guess is made by placing a row of code pegs on the decoding board. Once placed, the codemaker provides feedback by placing from zero to four key pegs in the small holes of the row with the guess. A white key peg is placed for each code peg from the guess which is correct in both color and position. A black peg indicates the existence of a correct color peg placed in the wrong position.

If there are duplicate colours in the guess, they cannot all be awarded a key peg unless they correspond to the same number of duplicate colours in the hidden code. For example, if the hidden code is white-white-black-black and the player guesses white-white-white-black, the codemaker will award two colored pegs for the two correct whites, nothing for the third white as there is not a third white in the code, and a colored peg for the black. No indication is given of the fact that the code also includes a second black.

Once feedback is provided, another guess is made; guesses and feedback continue to alternate until either the codebreaker guesses correctly, or ten incorrect guesses are made.

The codemaker gets one point for each guess a codebreaker makes. An extra point is earned by the codemaker if the codebreaker doesn't guess the pattern exactly in the last guess. (An alternative is to score based on the number of colored key pegs placed.) The winner is the one who has the most points after the agreed-upon number of games are played.

You can now play Mastermind for free online from onlinegames.net here.

Chinese Checkers

August 10th 2009 02:17

In this online version of Chinese Checkers, each player starts with a different coloured set of marbles placed into a point of the star. The idea of the game is to manipulate your marbles across the board to occupy the star point directly opposite. The player getting all marbles across first wins. A player can move or jump in any direction as long as they follow the lines. As in checkers, move only one hole or jump only one marble. Successive jumps are permissible whenever they can be made in any direction. To play, simply click on the marble you wish to move, then the hole you want to move it to. Once you've finished your turn, click 'done'.
