 Posted: Sat Sep 22, 2007 6:03 am Post subject: New "Best Time" Highscore Logic |
 |
|
I'm pleased to announce that we've just rolled-out a much requested and much needed improvement to the highscore system.
The new system will also take the amount of time taken to complete a game (from game start until the submit button has been clicked) to determine the rankings for all highscores.
This new "best time" feature only comes into play when scores are tied. When scores are tied, the scores are ranked by least amount of time taken. This adds a lot more interest to highscores, especially when the top score of the game has already been reached by several players. For example, Mario Boat will only score up to 99 points, so to win 1st place on that game you need to get 99 points then run out of lives, and get to that score quicker than the other players with 99 points.

| It works for most stuff. I haven't implemented this for low-score wins games, but please list any high-score win games where this isn't working so I can check it out. Thanks. |

| its not that it doesnt work for the games i mentioned above but that it wont work for some but will for others. for example check out mario starcatcher 2 ,im guessing if you had a perfect score before the time scoring was initiated it will not count your score now |
