High Scores

Some games contain minigames which which may revolve around getting a higher score or the longest time possible. Is it possible that these will ever be integrated into the site, despite not exactly being speedrun related? I have seen interest in high scores from several players of Jak II and I'm sure that there are other games where people are interested in seeing how far they can take them, too.

" or the longest time possible" In Game Edition panel, in the category, tick "Timer Ascending".

We want to add a "score" type timer eventually. The timer code needs refactored to handle more generic timer types like this (along with an arbitrary number of arbitrarily named timers/)

Awesome! I'll look forward to it!

@PackSciences: I just tried what you said and it works, however I can't do that without adding a the category to every single challenge (we have some challenges that would require an ascending time and some that would require descending, but the only way currently seems to be to have both for every challenge and disregard the one that shouldn't be there)

@kirkq awesome!

@blahpy jinx!

Posting high scores /and/ speedruns would make SRC so much better. Shoot-em-ups (as well as other random genres) would be more relevant, arcade games would have an added level of competition, and it would attract more competition in general. Speedrunning might be a niche thing, but all gamers can get into scoring.

@blahpy, that's the best you can do with the current version of this site

I would definitely submit my Donkey Kong score here if high scores were tracked... I hope this feature comes to fruition.

I don't mean to be annoying but I was just wondering if this is still planned?

I believe an update Lighnat0r is working on handles this. It's still in progress.

If there's anything I could do to help (though I doubt it), then let me know!
