Re: [pbmserv-dev] Solitaire game scoring

That would require changing the way the high score data is stored. Cameron is asking what he can do without major programming effort.


I think the proposed averaging would be A Bad Thing. In solitaire games you always look at best scores.

Email doesn't really make sense for solitaire games unless there is a tournament where everyone is facing the same random configuration. There is something unsatisfying about playing a game of robots and not seeing the robots marching to their doom.
