Welcome to runner @seedyz! Thanks to your submissions, we hit 20 people fed!

Recently @Spikegamz completed levels 1-20, so I've decided to add ILs for up to level 100. More will be added if needed!

Welcome to the mesiba we call speedrun.com ;) Since your game is on mobile, better to share it directly with the mobile speedrunning discord! We have 350+ mobile speedrunners to play your game -- just pop in and I'll give you the developer role. https://discord.gg/bpY8zeB

I have some feedback for you on the game as well, so just message me :D

Cheers!

@Tagerplayer this is due to a known site error that causes runs to go invisible if they don't match up with cats/sub-cats. It sounds like all you need to do is add those sub-categories back in (exactly as they were named before). The runs will match up and become visible again.

For future -- If you want to make changes to a category/subcategory in this manner, you'll need to have links for each current run open. For instance, all Story Decks runs should be open as tabs. Once you update the leaderboard, you can reverify each run by editing it and selecting "verify. " The runs will appear under the new/revised category. Let me know if you got questions :)

Hey @Kromer, great idea. I mentioned a similar idea in April 2018 here: https://www.speedrun.com/post/2szjw ShikenNuggets mentioned it in Oct 2018 as well: https://www.speedrun.com/post/aun99

On Freerice FaceBook page: May 9 at 8:03 AM · The old Freerice site is going to shut down later this summer but we've now built a new home for the Freerice family at http://beta.freerice.com/ and our Android app in the Google Play store (with an iOS one coming soon)

If you haven't created an account on the beta, make sure to do that now!

All our loyal, high-achieving users on the old site, rest assured, your old scores have made a huge difference and for that, we would like to reward you with legacy status on the new site🏆

Thank you all for helping us achieve #zerohunger

So friends, it looks like the old site is shutting down, so the speedrun.com leaderboard might need to be archived. Once it officially shuts down, I think I'll request we create a new leaderboard for Free Rice 3.0. I've kept a well-documented spreadsheet of all runs with grain totals, and I'll definitely keep that up as we move into the new website and app. As of today, we've fed 19 people as a group and I'm grateful for your help!

By the way, the new app is funky fresh and looking good. I recommend you download it. If you need any help with finding resources for recording on mobile, hit me up in the mobile speedrunning discord! https://discord.gg/bpY8zeB

Or hit me up in the Free Rice Discord, link in the sidebar! Let's keep up the runs for rice!

I'd love to see a leaderboard for playing and beating all three games in one run :)

Please pause the Twitch feed on the homepage

New rule change, no timer is required. We will now retime with https://github.com/Slush0Puppy/retime :D

Well done @quaristice on the new WRs! I added a "reach 300" category in case you want to aim for that next hehe :D

Hey BattleMaster! Any audio is better than none. External audio is the main way mobile speedrunners record audio proof because internal isnt really available. Audio is required because it can help prevent splicing and other methods of cheating.

I like that you have a lot of suggestions, though it would be much easier to chat if you joined the mobile speedrunning discord :)

I'm on Samsung S7 and use Game Screen Recorder to record my runs. I sometimes stream my runs using the YouTube Gaming app, which means no internal storage is needed. No timer is necessary for this leaderboard since we use https://github.com/Slush0Puppy/retime to retime runs accurately to the frame.

If you are interested in finding more resources for recording or timing on mobile devices, visit the Mobile Speedrunning Discord: https://discord.gg/bpY8zeB

There you will also find a great community of 350+ runners, competitions, and a ton of new games to play!

It would be really really cool if we could see an interactive list of all verified runs on a leaderboard, similar to how all runs show up on a users profile. I have about 313 runs in the Free Rice page that I'm considering retiming, but it is not easy to find all of them (many are obsoleted). This would also be helpful just in terms of statistics. On this page, it would be easy to see how many runs each user has done, easy to find and compare world records, and easy to grab data to work with in Excel.

Looks like the new IGT feature is exactly what we need! For pre-IGT runs (the 10 existing runs on the leaderboard), we will use Slush's Retimer. For all new runs, we could use the new IGT feature. I might do some comparisons between IGT and the Retimer to test accuracy first.

Note that, while IGT is great, this leaderboard still requires video submissions. If you need help recording or streaming a run, let me know :)

@BattleMaster did you join the mobile spedrunning discord yet? https://discord.gg/bpY8zeB It would be a lot easier to talk there :D

I see the new IGT feature... it wasn't there before, so that's really cool. I'm going to test it out a bit and get back to you.

Hey! All current runs have been retimed using https://github.com/Slush0Puppy/retime

I was head beta tester of this tool. It is the most accurate retiming method I've seen on speedrun.com. We would love if you used it while retiming runs!

If you have any timing disputes, please let me know! All retiming info is located in the comments of each run.

Edit: @BattleMaster brought up that Leap Day now has an in-game timer. All runs using an updated version of the game will be based on IGT. The earlier runs on the leaderboard without IGT will use Slush's Retimer.

Edit (August 2019): All RTA runs using an old version of the game have been retimed using the new start time rules. Instead of starting time on level select, we start time on the first hop frame. This matches when IGT starts.

@BattleMaster the game does not have an in-game timer that I've seen... However! I've just done a mass retiming of all runs on the leaderboard (count = 10) using SlushPuppy's Retimer: https://github.com/Slush0Puppy/retime

I will change timing rules based on this. Since Slush's Retimer uses YouTube frames, no timer is necessary. Feel free to run without one!

Hey BattleMaster! Please join the mobile speedrunning discord: https://discord.gg/bpY8zeB There you can message me and we can talk about changes you want to the leaderboard. As for moderation help, I'm not sure it will be necessary unless the leaderboard begins to get very popular. I'll definitely keep you in mind if it does!

As for IL, I'm not sure how I would implement that. Let's talk about it some more in discord.

I'd also like y'all to consider putting Slush Puppy's Retime Tool in resources. https://github.com/Slush0Puppy/retime

^ It provides YouTube-based frame accurate retiming with FPS in consideration. I use it for all the games I mod now.
