Huh. I guess the scoreboard just wasn't prepared to take seconds into consideration.

[chridd]

The old forum didn't show seconds, and this uses the same rules, so I made this one not take seconds into consideration as well.

[chridd]

This version of the forum software includes seconds in the HTML even if they're not shown, and my program can see that (and the list of previously-seen posts includes seconds). I've explicitly included rounding the time down to the nearest minute as part of calculating the score.

[chridd]

Code: Select all

$scores{$author} += (int($time/60) - int($last_time/60)) ** 2;

vs. the one on the old forum

Code: Select all

$scores{$author} += (($time - $last_time)/60) ** 2;

If people want some or all of the games to take seconds into account, I can change it.

[heuristically_alone]

Waiting for each minute seems to be an important part of the game, otherwise someone can just mass double post slowly incrementing their score in seconds.
