Title: Tracking Scores ?
Post by: beldurax on March 12, 2017, 02:22:35 PM

This message goes out to Kyzrati -- will you implement the tracking of game scores, in however many forms that can end up being ?

You mean like this (http://www.gridsagegames.com/cogmind/scores/)?

As Shadowfury333 points out, we've had leaderboards for a couple years now (the URL is mentioned at the bottom of your end-game score screen, if you have score uploading enabled in the options). There is definitely plenty more room for improvement, and it's continued to evolve over time every version or three as new features are added...

You'll also find a local summary of all your runs in the game's /user/scorehistory.txt

This is a listing of ALL scores from ALL users on the WEBSITE
I wonder if both this listing AND the listing from /user/scorehistory.txt could be implemented, in-game   :)

Thanks

Your own score history, possibly, although it's not very high priority since we already have the scorehistory.txt (which was added not too long ago). There are many other higher-priority features with regard to scoring, some of which I wrote about here (http://www.gridsagegames.com/blog/2015/10/morgue-files/).

I don't believe there would ever be in-game leaderboards, though, as I think the website works well for that purpose and it's better to not create two separate sources that do the same thing.
