Encryption seems safe enough.. Scoreboard test is further down..

So is this highscore board going to be langauge neutral or is it aimed only at BB?

Scramble, send..

If you can scramble it, and you can send it, you can use it..

OK, here's a test of the scoreboard functions.



Give it a whirl.
Let me know if something doesn't work/otherwise.

I've not yet gotten around to doing an Admin thing, so you can't yet create your own highscore boards..
But, at least the above is working.

Once the admin page is up, I should be able to get further features up and running, like multiple-score tables*, >10 highscores, etc.. woot!

* As in, you could not only have a simple highscore, but also keep the level the player got up to, the time their game lasted, and things like that.. That way, not only will the table look a little more detailed, but you can hopefully tell if anyone's cheating, too!

Worked for me when I submitted a score of 9999, but when I modified it to submit a string (just putting the string into the line that sticks it all together), it reads that I have a score of 0, but that score is at the bottom of the list a) replacing my highscore, and b) at the bottom of the list with 0, but if it's 0 then it shouldn't be there at all (I think).

Yeah, it's currently a bit dodgy when it gets unexpected, unformatted data.. That's on the todo list, along with that admin page. (Which is slowly but surely getting there.)

What string did you put in?

Oh, and it's at the bottom because it's a lower score! When you submitted a score with the same usernumber, it deleted your last score (9999), leaving a blank slot at the bottom of the scoreboard.
This looks a bit weird, but ingame it should only ever occur when a player inexplicably gets a newer lower highscore than the last!!

If that happens in your game, your code is wrong!! Can't blame me for that!

ok I'll have a play with that, see what's happening to it.
..
It's probably depressed.

OK, a couple of little test games.

1. Spider, from WW 150.
2. Space Loops, from WW 164.

Both should (should!) work as expected.

If there are any issues, let me know what they are, and how you made 'em!

Other than that, there's a Scoreboards link over on the bottom of the 3rd menu clump thing..
You may begin!!! (Dum-dum-durrr!)
