Highest level #53

Closed ameenross closed 2 years ago

ameenross commented 2 years ago

What is the highest achievable level? I've been at 13 for the longest time and though it was the highest, then I just did one puzzle today (after a long pause) and I suddenly got LVL 14.

There is no intended highest level, but as mentioned in #51 the current implementation is so meaningless that it might be that there is an effective, unintentional limit that is difficult to surpass.

In that case my question is how does leveling work? I though it was simply based on total amount of points, or # puzzles solved. But apparently it isn't.

That is done here:

A few random constants, with inverse quadratic growth by the score, divided by the number of completed puzzles. The code was written almost 7 years ago, and I just want to emphasize that I had no idea what I was doing, so there is no deeper meaning to this.
