[Systems] Add game stats for replayability

[andrefidalgosilva]

Hey guys! A couple of suggestions that I came up with after trying the game 🙂

Add visible stats

(stats can be for the current session, there should be no need for persistency, right?)

Current game time - Visible while playing Best time - Always visible after first win (this alone allows the game to have a highscore/speedrunning component -- good for challenge and replayability)

Optionally: Times played - Visible at game over or winning screen Times won - Visible at game over or winning screen (these two stats can be used so the user knows their success ratio, but I don't find them to be as interesting as the best time) "Developer's best time" so players have a time to beat (if this adds visual noise to the game, maybe have it as a hidden achievement that is only communicated once accomplished).

Let me know what you think!

Hello Ondrej. I am not sure we will continue with this project now that the competition is over. But you can fork it and work on if it you would like.

Hello, would you mind giving me a helping hand ? As i struggle to get it runnig

[sanojian]

1. clone the repo
2. cd js13k_2022
3. npm install
4. npm install -g grunt-cli
5. grunt
6. open browser to http://127.0.0.1:3116/

[sanojian]

For a production build (the tiny build), you can run build.sh or copy each command from it and run them individually

Thank you for your response but even though the server is running, i cant seem to run the game... As i run grunt (server is running) and go to the link, web page says.

This page isn’t working 127.0.0.1 sent an invalid response. ERR_INVALID_REDIRECT

Could you please help me as it is part of my school course? I only need to get it running and I will be able to complete this task . We can communicate on other platform if it happens that commenting on issue is inconvenient

If you just need to get a project running it might be easier for you to pick a repo that is not so optimized. This one is optimized to the extreme to get it under the 13k limit. Sorry but I don't know why you are getting that error message. Do you have browser plugins or virus scanners running, perhaps?

[osabol]

I already have to do this repo. I tried to run it with different browsers but without succes

[sanojian]

I asked if you have plugins or virus scanners.

[osabol]

Oh yes sorry, i do not have any of theese

[osabol]

Thank you for your help. I had to install Ubuntu because it didnt work on windows for some reason, and even after that i had some probles with NodeJS. Nonetheless, i managed to get it working and i completed the issue on my forked repo.

Again, thanks for everything
