N.A.N.S.S.S.:Numan Athletics needs special scoring system

Post by Kale »

OK,now that(finally) Numan Athletics is on our Hard Drives,I think that everyone wants to get a special scoring system,before MARP got a lot of "8" scores...<br>
<br>
These are the trials in this game:<br>
1.<b>Turbo Dash</b>(a "typical"dash race)<br>
2.<b>Interceptor</b>(intercept the fireballs that comes from a boat)<br>
3.<b>Missile Toss</b>(Launch a missile)<br>
4.<b>Numan Sniper</b>(Similar to Interceptor,but you have to kill monsters)<br>
5.<b>Vs. Express</b>(Block a train)<br>
6.<b>Tower Topper</b>(climb with jumps over two Towers)<br>
7.<b>Nostop Rock Chop</b>(Destroy rocks)<br>
8.<b>Niagara Jumps</b>("simple" Triple Jumps)<br>
<br>
Here's the scoring system for every trial that the game use for your performance:<br>
1st type:(1 & 6) use seconds,<br>
2nd type:(3,5 & 8) use meters reached,<br>
3rd type:(2 & 4) use points according to how fast you killed the enemy/missile,<br>
4th type:(7) give one point for every rock destroyed.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Now that I have bored everyone with these descriptions,come up to the point,the scoring system:
1st type:10000-(scorex100)(a la Gtmr) <br>
2nd type:scorex25 for Missile Toss,scorex150 for the other two<br>
3rd type:score for Interceptor,(score/10)x2 for Numan Sniper<br>
4th type:scorex50<br>
Luckly,the game gives a resume at the end,so it's easy to keep trace of the final score.I've tried to give to every trial the same importance(about 10000 to everyone),but I know also that is difficult to calculate the score to this manner(and not perfect).Anyone has propositions,suggests,flames,ecc?

So long,

Kale

I'll give it a try to sometime soon, let's see if your scoring system
is ok...if it is, I should continue my world/marp domination for
these kind of games ;)

<p>

That is if my ghetto-pc can run it...

Well, good study of the game, Kale ; I will edit the "special rules"
soon, but with a few little changes to your proposal in some
multiplying coeff. : for example 25 and 150 are not possible because
it can give not integer numbers (for example 343.1x25=8577.5 !)

After several plays, I've tried to adjust this coeffs (like you
already do) so that each event is rewarded by about 10000pts

The scoring I've used for my inp is :

Trial 1 : 10000 - time x 100 <br>
Trial 2 : score of best try <br>
Trial 3 : distance x 30 <br>
Trial 4 : score/5 <br>
Trial 5 : best distance x 100 <br>
Trial 6 : 10000 - (best time x 100) <br>
Trial 7 : nb of rocks x 300 <br>
Trial 8 : best distance x 300 <p>

Mmmmm ... please, kale and others, could you wait a little (let say
sunday) before uploading any score ?

<p>

I've played this game a lot today, and I start to get the hand of it ;
our scoring doesn't give me yet entire satisfaction :
* you can get about 20000 pts on trial2 with little practice, so I
think score there should be divided by 2
* my times on trial1 are always between 10"30 and 10"70 ; actual
scoring doesn't make lot difference between these scores compared to
other trials
....

<p>

Still in study ...

Ok ; now I'm convinced points are to be divided by 2 on trial 2 so
that each trial has the same weight ; I've done the changes both in
special rules and in input scores ; I kept the rest like it was

This scoring should give us a big fun in this game ; now LET'S PLAY !
... I'm impatiently waiting for others performances to compare with
mine ; for info here are my personal best : <br>
1- 10"25 <br>
2- 21050 <br>
3- 410m <br>
4- 53500 <br>
5- 87m80 <br>
6- 10"46 <br>
7- 27 (can easily be improved) <br>
8- 65m06

Oh one more thing ; I noticed that Skito has confirmed one of my (old)
scores but yesterday when I tried to playback this inp, it lost sync
at trial 2 ; Chad, what commands you use to playback ? I personally
record with dmame57 and no other options than -soundcard 0

Ok, I played yesterday about 3 hours. Game is ok, but for me it's
frustrating to notice that sixfinger-superspeed gives only veery
slight advantage/no advantage at all in this game. That will make
competing more even tough nevertheless...

<p>

I'll have to disagree slightly with your scoring methods. Difference
between good performance/bad performance at "time-events"(1 and 6) is
much too small! With your proposed scoring-system, 0,01 sec
difference is only 0,01x100=1point!!!! (at Track&Field 0,01 sec
difference is 30 points at 100m, and 20 points at 110m hurdles)

<p>

So here is my 0,5€...

<p>

TRIAL1: 40 000-timex3000 : example 10,00sec=10 000points /
10,25sec=9250 points / 10,5sec=8500 points. Differences in this event
will be small anyway.

<p>

Trial2: ouch, this event is very much luck based...maybe even score
DIVIDED BY 3 would be good....
Example: score 15 000score =5000points / 20 000score =6670points

<p>

Trial3: as it is, distancex30 :example 360m=10800 / 410m=12300

<p>

Trial4: as it is, score/5 :example 50 000score= 10 000points /55
000score = 11000points

<p>

Trial5: as it is, best distancex100 :example
70meters=7000points /85meters=8500 points

<p>

Trial6: 30 000-time x2000 :example 10,00sec= 10 000 / 10,5sec
=9000 /10,75=9500

<p>

Trial7: as it is, number of rocks x300 : Example
25rocks=7500 /30rocks=9000

<p>

Trial8:as it is, best distance x300 :Example 60meters=18000 / 65
meters=19500

<p>

I believe these suggestions are quite good, I tried to make two
examples(for each event): First example "moderate" performance,
second example "good/very good" performance. As you notice difference
between these two examples happened to become around 1500, this would
make each event more "at the same line" compared to each other.

<p>

Do you agree?????

<p>

Phil,Here are my best records for yesterday(did not finish the game
on one credit yet):

<p>

1(dash): 10,13sec
2(interceptor): around 17000
3(missile):410meters
4(sniper):55000
5(train):89meters, second best being around 75m
6(Eiffel tower):around 10,5sec
7(rock'n'roll):30rocks
8(triple jump,niagara):around 66meters

Correction Trial 6, example 3: 10,75=9500 ....should be
10,75sec=8500points (30 000-10,75x2000)

I completely agree with your scoring for time trials : better than
mine ; I've said there that I wasn't very satisfied with mine, but I
had no clue how to improve it ;
I gonna change "special rules" and my scores soon

<p>

But I disagree with changing /2 by /3 on trial 2 for two reasons :
*all scores can't be divided by 3
*dividing by 2 give more similar points with other trials (between
8000 and 10000, and 10000+ is a high max)

<p>

I hope you will be ok
