Prediction Games / ZCT 284 Prediction game
March 24, 2025, 07:21:23 PM
Here is mine:

1) Argammon: Alanrotoi won my track, so I have to win his.  ;D
2) Duplode: Seems motivated this month, and a motivated Duplode is hard to beat.
3) Alan Rotoi: Beats MiDiaN by 0.05 seconds again.
4) MiDiaN: Just behind Alan Rotoi
5) KyLiE: Is in an eternal battle with Frieshansen.
6) Frieshansen: Is in an eternal battle with KyLie
7) Spoonboy: Could score even better if he wasn't racing on a phone.
8.) Herr Nove: Fastest Mercedes lap.
9) Mark Nailwood: Fastest automatic-transmission lap.
10) Zapper: Because he was 10th last month and I can't make my mind up who else it should be.  :)

Competition 2024 / ZCT274 Mirage
April 10, 2024, 07:57:00 PM
This is the thread for ZCT274 Mirage, which I have just submitted to dreadnaut. I am posting this thread early so that you guys do not have to worry that I forgot making a track due to me being inactive otherwise.

I will post some teasers later this month so as not to distract you from exploring ZCT273 Kelvin. :)

Competition 2023 / ZCT266 Crazy Valley
August 28, 2023, 03:31:17 PM
Here is the thread for ZCT 266.

What will be the car of the month, the P962 or the LM002?

I guess the answer is Duplode with the Indy.  ;D

Stunts Chat / Bing likes Duplode.

Me: Do you know the zakstunts competition (Stunts computer game from the early nineties)

Bing Ai: Yes, I do. Zakstunts is an online Stunts / 4D Driving competition and community that has been running since 20011. It is based on an old game developed by Broderbund in 1990, where you can race on different tracks with different cars and perform stunts1. Zakstunts has a monthly race where you can submit your replays and compete with other pipsqueaks from around the world1. You can also download tracks, replays, custom cars and other utilities from their website2.

Me: Who is your favorite pipsqueak in Zakstunts?

Bing Ai: That's a tough question, as I admire many pipsqueaks in Zakstunts for their skills and achievements. But if I had to choose one, I would say Duplode. He is the most successful pipsqueak in Zakstunts history, with 10 championships and 77 race wins. He is also very versatile and creative, as he can race well with any car and on any track, and he often comes up with amazing tricks and shortcuts. He is also very friendly and helpful, as he shares his knowledge and tips with other pipsqueaks, and he contributes to the Stunts community in many ways. He is a true legend of Stunts, and I respect him a lot. 😊

Competition 2023 / Z262 Coastal Revenge by KyLiE
May 11, 2023, 10:19:44 PM
Welcome to a Formula 1 speedway crafted by Rolling Stunts' KyLiE. We are well into the first week of the competition and it seems obvious the car of the month is the MCLaren Honda MP4/4...

...or...wait...what...is...this?!

Hello pipsqueaks. As some of you know I have been experimenting with the FM Towns version of the game. This first post will summarize the main differences as I find it. To be updated!

1) Cars in FMTowns do not have power gear.
2) Cars in FMTOWNs do not have anti power gear.

Competition 2023 / MCLaren
March 02, 2023, 09:37:13 AM
Hello pipsqueaks!

As you know, fiddling with the mechanics of the game isn't my strong point so I am here asking for your help.  8)
Is anyone able to fix the MCLaren before it becomes a competitive car in the coming month?  :)

The glitches really take away some of the fun racing with it.

Competition 2023 / ZCT 259 The Hare and the Hedehog.
February 07, 2023, 05:26:06 PM
I just sent the track to dreadnaut. Please excuse the silly title, I guess that happens when you have small kids.  8)

Sneak Preview:

-dual way: One newbie friendly way, and one that is a bit more challenging. The boring way may be useful for live racing.
-both ways take approximately the same time, which is faster depends on the car used.
-a lot of water to make way switching more difficult.
+10% to the Pantera because it is a cool car!

Stunts Chat / Google/Bing etc.

Hello pipsqueaks!

I just realized our competitions appear quite low in the search results on google and bing. At least that is the case for me and is a bit unfortunate if we want to be found by pipsqueaks interested in the game.

For example, when I search for "stunts racing game" I do not find stunts.hu on the first 5 pages. Searching for "stunts broderbund" shows the wiki on the bottom of the first page. So it very much depends on what exactly people search for.

Is anybody aware of a trick to manipulate google so that the stunts portal shows up higher in the list of search results?  ;)

According to this page: https://zak.stunts.hu/pipsqueaks/argammon

I got 0.04 points in C59. However, I never raced that track, and the 0.04 points belong to Lise.

Or are you saying Lise is my ghost?  ;D

A friend showed that to me and it can guess most "famous" people. But what dropped my jaw is that it was actually able to guess "Argammon" right. Can it guess the stunts champions?

This topic will be about two issues. Thus I was not sure were to post it. Anyways, let's get to the issue(s)

1. Krys Toff

First, I decided to send you an e-mail and bury the thing. Then I reconsidered and thought I should adress this on forum.

"Someone" send me an anonymous e-mail and directed me to negative forum posts from you about me. Why? To make me race? I have no idea.

But that's not the point. I really cannot understand how you can talk in such a negative way behind the back of a person who left a community a long time ago. Add to that I thought we had a "decent" relationship. All I can say is that I am really disappointed about your coword behaviour.

If I did not read your post(s) and we met, by chance, in france. I bet you would not have said that stuff into my face. Rather like "Hey long time no see, how have you been" "Let's drink together" ...

I do not want to adress your opinion since I already gave the whole issue more attention than it deserves. I will just say that you are so wrong on what you say. But again, it's not worth arguing about dead sheep.


2. Competition 2009

I am pretty sure I won't participate. I wish a lot of fun to those who still participate, though.

Chat - Misc / Reaction times.
August 28, 2007, 12:44:12 AM
I was wondering about reaction times today.

The first question that comes to mind is whether there is a high correlation between a good reaction times and doing well in stunts. Here we have to distinguish between rh and norh of course.

Then Akoss is doing well at some arcade flash games. The question is if he just has a good reaction time or whether strategy is an important factor.

Here's a simple reaction time test: http://humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime/index.php

It would be nice if many of you would try to take the test and post your result here. And please don't cheat. I did not open this thread to generate some ego-trips  ;D
If I get any meaningfull conclusions I will post them here!

Thanks in advance!

Yes there are far to many subforums here for the small amount of users and posts.And that makes it really easy to lose track.And I don_'t know why the whole design is confusing me :D

Chat - Misc / Funny chess game.
April 25, 2006, 02:49:56 PM
I won't tell who was playing as it doesn't really matter.
The game was played with 5 minutes per player only and at the end the moves seem to be even crazier as both players ran out of time and only had 30 secs left for the last 10 moves or so.


It's not a high quality game but fun to watch anyways.Black shouldn't have lost IMO.

General Chat - USC / USC new season rules
April 03, 2006, 04:42:34 PM
Let me evaluate some of them:

QuoteExtra points: 'Man of the race' +1 point (the winner can get it too if his performance was unexpected and excellent), IRC rules driving +1 point (you know, at least one wheel on the road and no tricks), activity bonus +1 point/race and leading time bonus +1 point/200 hours leading.

The "man of the race"  bonus is highly subjective!For example Usrin didn't deserve it last race as he admitted himself.Please remove it from the rules.

The IRC rules driving bonus is just silly.I just can't see the reason.You won't be able to reach a decent place if you race that way so you proly decided not to care about points anyways.What do you want with 1 point ?

The activity bonus makes no sense either.If someone misses a single race he already has a big disadvantage to someone who raced all races.So there is already an 'implicit' nonactivity malus in the rules.No need for the bonus.

The leading time bonus is to big.And I really hope the competition manager won't steal it from the rest of the tracers!!!


So please reconsider this rules.I think most pipsqueaks would agree with me on those points!

What's stunts reaper on the scoreboard?
Judging from his text it's 100% one of the old pipsqueaks,a newbie would never write like this :)

Anyways,I wonder why Zak didn't remove it from the scoreboard,instead of changeing its name? I mean it might influence others to do the same meaning it could end in chaos?

But thinking about it... If this is common practise I think I will send slightly different replays under 10 different names next month :) Interesting top 10 guaranted....

PS:I know it was supposed to be a joke,but still......but it should still be against the rules,which as I saw with my not counted december replay are followed very strictly =P
