Sadari scoring - all uploaded scores should change?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : MAME Action Replay : One Thread

Okay, here goes...

Sadari, as it is now, is currently dealing with ties (and they're a pain in the neck).

I'd like to propose a new scoring system:

10,000*last level played (the current scores) + points remaining

So my current recording would be changed from 8 to 78,950 (and I have another recording which would be worth 79,930 under this scale).

This would help eliminate ties by a long way, I think, and it gives people an incentive to try and minimize their losses on the last level anyway (even if they'd still finish in the hole).

Comments welcome.

You're right : scoring had to be change on this game ; your proposal seems to be good, but I have to study the game more to be 100% sure your scoring is good ...

For example if I reach level 8 with a positive score and then suicide (I mean outpass the horizontal deadline) then I will not have the substracting at the end of level and get 80000+ , better than someone reaching level 8 and play normally after that

Good point, Phil.

Clarification #1: If someone crosses the dead-line, that level is NOT counted towards levels played, but the points remaining are still in.

This means that if you were to suicide and had a score of 1300 on level 8, your score would be 71,300 (not 81,300).

ok I play several games yesterday night, and this scoring seems to be good for me : 10000x(number of FINISHED levels) + points remaining when you loose

I will eventually had it in the "special scorings" page we built with Lagavulin (link is in the RULES for those who have forgotten) and submit a score using this scoring, barring any indication to the contrary from any editor in the next, let's say, 2 or 3 days

So, editors, we need your opinions (and help to eventually edit all scores of course)

Thanks

Done ... I've updated "system scorings" page (and also my mahjong page, including all m37b12 games - links both available in the banner in "rules" section)

A call to all marpers : let me know if there is another games with special scorings I've forgotten in this page

And a proposal : maybe we should apply same type of scoring used in neodrift for gtmr (and clones) ? waiting for your advices

would be good to give the url of that scoring system page, or at least how to get there from the site. It's at the bottom of the RULES page. only problem i see currently is that for fighting games, one game is missing.

i thought there was a mahjong game added on the latest beta too but i forgot what it was, but then again maybe i was thinking of b14.
