Scores on leaderboard #51

Closed lauredon closed 11 years ago

Are we ranked by the sum of scores of each game played? I think it would be more reasonable to rank by the max score of any game played by a user. It would be nice if we could filter this to just games using the built in dictionary (gamehistory.mode=random, I believe), since we haven't implemented multiple leaderboards.

I was thinking of it as more of an all-time leaderboard, similar to what you get on fitocracy. This also encourages more frequent use of the app. Of course we could later add more leaderboards for things like 'most points in last month/week/arbitrary time frame'. As far as highest score in a single game goes, doesn't the score vary depending on the length / difficulty of words? You may not even be able to attempt to beat a particular high score unless you're lucky enough to get 4 max-length words in the first place.

My vote is to keep it as an all-time leaderboard.

Closing this for now. We can always add more types of leaderboards later if we want.
