Welcome to Nonosweeper!
Sep 11^th, 2004 at 5:16pm

Hi there, fans! Grin

So what do you think of Nonosweeper, then? And is anyone ever going to get close to my time on Expert?
Post whatever you like on this forum! (As long as it's not grossly offensive - I MIGHT allow slightly offensive).

A special shout goes to Gadget for getting me a big fan base in Bulgaria! His site is at www.setcom.bg, and although I have no idea what it says (the online Bulgarian-English translator doesn't fare much better either), it's probably great! Wink

Setcom.bg is a IT news website. I'm not an owner, just news editor and one of the forum administrators

The highscore for Expert is difficult to be beaten. But when I have time I'll try

Please change the way to publish newest equal times first, because now everyone is resetting the highscore to create a new one to become first

Reply #2 - Sep 11^th, 2004 at 7:18pm Good point about the high scores - I'll sort it out tomorrow. I've just this minute got a better score for Expert, but I'm not posting it in the table because I don't want to scare off any potential challengers With a lot of practice, it's possible to beat that score by a good margin, I reckon!

Erk! Gadget, I've deleted your user name! Shocked

Sorry! I'm not used to this forum software yet Embarrassed

Anyway, I've changed the "upload time" routine so that an equal score with the same name isn't updated. Someone could still get to the top by resetting scores, playing again and getting an equal score and inserting it with a different name, but if they can get that score twice they might as well go for the extra second with their own name

piman Ex Member	Re: Welcome to Nonosweeper! Reply #13 - Oct 25^th, 2004 at 8:12pm I like the rankings, and particularly the weighted rankings. I'm wondering, however, if there might be a more optimal weight relationship between the levels? ~Lloyd

Good question, Lloyd - I'm inclined to think that the answer to it is "no, there isn't," although I'm open to suggestions!
You can probably imagine what would happen if the weighted totals of the levels were worth about the same - beginner*40 or something would leave the beginner scores so volatile as to render the other ones meaningless. In my opinion, a difference of 1 second on beginner is worth about 10 seconds on expert - the real reason I chose 1, 3, 10 is because they are nice round numbers that seemed about right and still left the order of importance of the levels the same, but I think those numbers are working pretty well.
I don't think there's a more precise way to do it than simply weighting it by how important one second of improvement feels on each level, but if you have any ideas, let me know!
