Hi everyone!
I've been toying with the idea of building my own leaderboard service and putting it open source online. The idea being that other people could host it themselves if they wanted, or just connect to one that I host. I plan on using it for my own games, as every game that I created until now has needed a leaderboard so it seems useful for myself at least.
Nothing exists yet, I'm mostly just curious whether anyone would actually be interested in this before I sink a lot of time into it.
If you've put a leaderboard in a game before, or wanted one and didn't bother, what would you want it to do? I've got the obvious stuff in mind, submitting a score and showing a top 10, but I don't really know what people run into past that. Per-level boards? Weekly resets? Lower-is-better for time trials? Showing a player where they rank? Some way to deal with cheated scores?
Anyway, let me know what you think! Any opinion is appreciated! 🙂
