Test new site.

by Igor Romanov » 2014-04-09 14:37:47 #5312

Hi everyone. Soon we start the new version of a site. The test version of a site with the transferred data on April 7 is now launched. You can visit it according to the link http://test.solitairecraving.com/
Counting ranking is performed using the formula.
Count the number of games played. (g) (How many of the 2946 games played)
Average time (t), and the average quantity of moves (m) spent for passings of all games.
The total quantity of points will be equal (g / (t + m)) * 10000
For example donnamusica finished 2680 of 2945 games.
g = 2680 Average time (t) = 166.4249 Average quantity of moves (m) = 143.2308 Point = ( 2608 / 166.4249 + 143.230 ) * 10000 = 86548
Each player is given an award for the minimum quantity of courses and time spent for game. Even if two players pass game in 135 seconds, the award is given only to the one who made it before another.
Please leave your suggestions and comments.

Regarding the new format: I have trouble making out the cards. I don't see well and loved the old site because I could pretty well make out the cards. The problem with the new site is, I believe, that there is not enougt contrast. The card imprints are paler than the old and the background color is also lighter. The darker green is much easier on the eyes. Also, I noticed that even the champion players seemed to have longer play times. Thanks for the opportunity to comment on these changes.

Hi, Yuriy ! 1) When you click on "Restart the Game", it takes 4-5 seconds for the computer to reset the game. That is not a big deal as long as we all realize it takes that long and is not instantaneous. 2) "Your not finished that game yet." - This could be restated a couple of ways: You are not finished with the game yet. OR You have not finished the game yet. OR something else that might be suggested. 3) The cards that get stacked up to the right of the deck (in Game #2947 the first one is the 4 of Spades) need to be moved over to align with the pile with the 8 of Spades on it. -- Thanks for all of the work you have done on this, Yuriy!!! smile

Under "View All Statistics for this Puzzle", I guess it should read 1) All Results OR 2) Results. "Win ID" is not clear so I do not know how to best reword that. Maybe someone else has an idea. I like the new smiley face !! smile

I-pad: The double click to get the cards up is working well. It was easier to swipe the cards today. Restart game is slow to react. Mobile phone: Cannot play on phone, because it is too hard to see the cards in portrait view. Need to be able to switch to landscape. Also, I found it difficult to move the cards on my phone. It kept changing my screen. Thanks guys!

-Score consists of games played. Is there going to be a way to replay past games? -Score consists of average moves and time. Is this the average moves and time of all attempts or just your lowest move and fastest time. I suggest only the average of your best scores. -I noticed in results it shows all attempts by everyone this could get confusing. again I suggest only show best result. -Played fairly well. Card from the pile had a tendency to stick every now and then.

I noticed also that the icon cuts off part of my photo.

What is the difference between "Ranking" and "Month Ranking" (which I assume should probably read "Monthly Ranking"wink?

by Igor Romanov » 2014-04-16 17:00:26 #9518

Monthly Ranking is based on games played in the last 30 days. Sorry for my English.

My input (suman12): 1. the movement is better than it was 2. it won't let me login 3. the cards are too small (that's a big reason I do not play other games) - is there any chance you can make the info on the right side smaller or put it at the top?

New Game Observations

[font=Arial]The move counts seem to have no basis in reality. Any comments I make are just what I see on my PC with Windows 7 others my find things different. Firefox for me lacks clarity and the chat is almost unreadable, but chrome is bright and crisp. I agree with the slow to load but will try to be patient thru transition.grin I will be grateful for the opportunity to play on my Phone when not at home Thank You. wink[/font]

Why are the rankings so different?

Please do this for Mahjong Craving!

Or fix the rankings. Please!

About the rankings

by SusieP » 2014-04-23 20:26:56 #9532

The ranking system is very complicated. I gather that a person's rank will be based on a formula involving all the games - almost 3000. I think that will discourage people from joining SC on a regular basis because they will have very little hope of making it to the top. They will already be 3,000 (or whatever) games behind.
I also agree with fizzbut that a person's score should consist of an average of their best scores, not all their scores.

Cards are sticky and harder to move than the previous version (safari - imac) I replayed the game and my rank went lower - it used to take the best of time and moves you played but instead today, it ranked me lower when I replayed the hand. I have to keep loading the message board rather than just scrolling down to see what people have posted. The game seems to play more slowly.   Ipad - not taking my password although I know it to be correct.  i played the game anyway to see how it plays and now it gives me a window that says please register over and over until I was finally able to dismiss it. The cards move well, very smooth. Wish I could have logged in! I agree with fizzbutt and susiesP about the rankings. We play over and over to get our very best score.

The word for the people who are following you is followers. You need to put an s on the end of follower. Sorry if I am being a bit picky. Why doesn't the ipad version take my password??

Sticky Cards

The 6C would not move both times I played the game until after I moved some other cards and then went back to it.

by TIkki » 2014-04-24 18:22:26 #9550

Love it that I can play SC on my iPad - I have not experienced any problem logging in using iPad or Macbook Pro (Safari).  My ranking before the change over was 68 and now it's 171(?)  Do not like that it now lists every time a player played the game and not just the player's best time/number of moves - the list is just too long.  Would also like to see the stats for the active game in separate columns for lowest time and lowest number of moves as it was in the original version of SC.  The ability to access previous games would be great also.  Thank you.

I can't move a card in the discard pile either to the Aces piles or down to the tableau. Instead of the card moving, the whole screen moves. Do you have any suggestions?

subject New Rankings system.

by Igor Romanov » 2014-04-24 18:34:55 #9554

I talked with Yuri, and we decided to do another rating system. It will include only the best results of games you played.
