- Slightly improved handling of presence in the lobby. Players whose connection drops will now not be present in the lobby anymore.
- Added a Level attribute to the ranking ; it is an easiest way to compare two players. The details are still available.
- Changed the display of waiting players in the lobby.
- Rethought the handling of fight challenges to other players, to make it less confusing.
- Added icons for players you have challenged and who have challenged you; added an icon for Modnar
- Player names that are in fight are now in italics
- The Level is now the prevalent measure of the player's strength in the lobby. The details (mean and uncertainty) are still available when mousing over the player's name.
Note on level: I believe it is interesting to have a simplified way to compare two players. However, the current level is a bit awkward. You go up and down quickly (while levels tend to mean you're getting better, so up only), you skip levels a lot in the beginning, and you can rather easily get a negative level. So I'm not really happy about it. I will need to wait a bit and see how it turns out with real data, but I could replace that with something slightly different.
As usual, waiting to hear your feedback :)
I'm also not a fan of negative levels, it's just... negative :)
ReplyDeleteTwo little suggestions:
- can you make a direct URL for the leaderboard ?
- can you add the number of games played ?
Appart from that, was not able to launch a match against Modnar... still seating in the lobby after clicking "Fight".
ReplyDeleteI am still fighting to handle proper web redirection from Gandi to Google App Engine. I would like the leaderboard to be accessible from http://test.thefiveorbs.com/#leaderboard, but it doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, you can access it from http://test.latest.thefiveorbs4.appspot.com/#leaderboard
For the number of games played I will add it in the next release, it's an easy thing to do (it will not take into account the games that have already been played though, unless really necessary).
It worked for me. The session is not properly handled yet, so may want to refresh the application and log back in again.
