Open kevinburke opened 10 years ago

kevinburke commented 10 years ago

does each game have its own URL per player? do we send all game notifications to the same URL? how do you specify this?

I was thinking that each player would be unique for each game. Thoughts?

kevinburke commented 10 years ago

This precludes the idea of having best player across all game style thingys

My idea was that you would have owners and bots (which are the players). So if I'm an owner, you can see all my bots. And bots are only for a.single game.

kevinburke commented 10 years ago

What about some kind of a leaderboard, that would be attached to owners? prolly should think through this a little more

kyleconroy commented 10 years ago

I'm still open to letting bots play multiple games. Would be easier to implement scoreboards.

dsyang commented 10 years ago

leaderboards are per game though right? so what if a game had a leaderboard, a leaderboard listed bots, and bots were associated to owners?

kyleconroy commented 10 years ago

So I've thought more about this, and I think @kevinburke is right: bot's should be allowed to play different games.
