Deduplicating effort #26

Hello, I have recently obtained from Zach the shenzhenIO subreddit wiki, with the intention of placing a leaderboard there.

I started from the old reddit leaderboards, contacted record holders, and made an arrangement very similar to this repository (without knowing about it), with the reddit wiki pointing to solution files rehosted on my github repo.

After I've done all that, I decided to search github for similar efforts, and I found this one, which is pretty complete and competitive. Looking around it, it seems I already have solutions equivalent, or better, than the ones here.

So, if you want to keep maintaining this, please also send folks with new solutions my way. Otherwise, we could merge them and close one, but I see we have different ideas about what to include.

I've seen your and for my part the format is simple, this github should be considered as a valid shenzhen io folder, the aim is that each could see by themselves the solutions, to be part of the entry you need to submit the solution.

Also I prefer to have the table on github so peoples can send pull request, and as maintainer manually download the files, verifying and then merging. On the other hand, I strictly don't mind about solutions that are unverifiable and not put in the repo.

At start I considered creating a software that would automaticaly report the scores in a leaderboard table, the case of pretty is that it based on human jugement, the design need to be simple to understand and well formed.

I don't still have time to maintain it, so if you want to upgrade yours with the solutions of my repos, I simply would demand that you add the pretty scoreboard.

Hi, my repo is a valid shIO folder as well, I've specifically chosen very high numbers (100+) so one can easily copy these files alongside the ones already in the save folder.

I could add the table to the github repo, but in my opinion that adds pretty much nothing, one version is enough, I don't want to maintain 2.

I also don't plan on adding any "human judgement" scores, scoring criteria should be objective.

Ultimately, it looks like we have different goals and modus operandi, so my leaderboard cannot replace yours. I'll not take any solution from here, as I do not have your permission.

Thank you anyway.
