Improve scoring system #7

Open elkowar opened 4 years ago

elkowar commented 4 years ago

There have been multiple complaints about the scoring system. Currently, the score is calculated in terms of the time that it took the user to guess it, rather than based on who came first. The score of the currently drawing player is currently based on the time the slowest player took to guess it, which is also not optimal. A better solution would be to score the drawing player based on the average speed of the players.

Optimally, we should rate the drawing player also based on how different the times of the other players are, such as to encourage interesting drawings (which some players will solve quickly, others very slowly) rather than the obvious image.
