to Labuxiere: Congratulations for leading the first en third winnerlist on our terrific champions-page! First list you already led, third list is new however: finding a solution for the hard levels. You play it hard!
to admin1 (forgot to tell you yesterday): Extra dividing by place isn't necessary either, formula you use now (1/solvers) is most simple and effective. By the way: can you make all four tables sortable by column? It would make comparison of players by name some easier.
to admin1: This is great and very fast, thanks a lot! You're right that squaring isn't necessary, it's fine this way.
To Admin1: If you now got complexity of every level, does it change complexity numbers in "about" page.
to Arnold: I suppose that dividing by the number of solvers is sufficient. It clearly shows the complexity of level.
P.S. Of course the first (constant) factor can also be 100 or something else, if using 1 causes a decimal problem.
I think I got it: each player gets a reward for each completed puzzle according to this formula: 1/place/solvers. Potentially one of the two (or both) variable factors can be squared to let an aspect weigh heavier. To value the complexity of a puzzle more: 1/place/(solvers*solvers). To value the length of a solution more: 1/(place*place)/solvers. To let both weigh heavy: 1/(place*place)/(solvers*solvers). Four options thus. How about it?
I'm only chatting too, but also thinking about a formula to put the very best players on top.
I know, but their influence is so strong.
Sorry, but you mention "new winnerlists", which giving points only the winner.
What's wrong with giving points to others also.
Do you mean, that there should be another king of list instead of "winnerlist". (or do you want improve it somehow).
I only bring up "winnerlist" weakness, that should be taking account of, if impoves are create. "Excluded anonymous players" put registered players to number two,even they are excluded from counting, then there will be no list left (that is situation now). Empty list shows nothing.
Anonymous could be excluded also from the single level move count (which determine, who's the winner) , they should reward only "Honorary mention and move count". Or they could be also count in, with all of the lists (as a player). Otherwise we could not be make proper list of any kind. Don't be mad, if I write these things all over again.
I'm only chatting here.
Indeed: give points to all results, not just for shortest solution. We have to think about a formula for that.
