I don't understand the meaning of "Platform"

While ticking "emulator" makes sense, what's the point of Web/Android when you already have "Web" and "Mobile App"?

For example: Having "Mobile app" version + "Web" platform makes no sense, since "mobile app" means it must be on android. Am I missing something? Thanks

Mobile/Web is different from the mobile version and the PC Web version. Mine field is different size.

Please explain more clearly

PC (Web) has a minefield in some X size Mobile App has a minefield in some Y size (that isn't X) That's why we have "Version" to choose between ("Web" and "Mobile App")

My main issue is with the "Platform" column, why does it exist? We already have the "Version" thing, it seems to me like the same thing.

Now with "touchscreen" and "keyboard/mouse" controls, we can even choose to say "touchscreen + web" so people would know it's still on the phone, but using the browser and not the app.

Open a Web version on Mobile and PC and try to compare the 2

You don't understand what I mean. There's no reason to put "platform" where we already put "version". Both are just ways to differentiate between PC and Mobile.

This should make it more clear: https://imgur.com/gbbDe7v

My point: Why have both, and not just one of them? (Version or Platform, what's the difference?)

Just to be clear: I never said PC and Mobile are the same. Obviously I'm not that dumb considering I submitted times to both.

Ok, I'll sort it out later

because the platform thing is by default on speedrun.com and I can't make a subcategory out of it, so I have to make a different variable in order to make it into a subcategory. The platform thing just defines what will be next to your time on the leaderboard: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/481089298892849162/734490943830622228/unknown.png

So i tried to work around it by using different naming so we now have "version" and "Platform"

Also when you pick between android and web you're picking between these two https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/481089298892849162/734491601988223017/unknown.png

So I can't rename android to lets say mobile app

Oh, so we are stuck with "Platform" because SRC assumes there's always different platforms, now I get it. It's a shame it can't made into a subcategory.

Web runs done on devices that google recognises as phones (the ones with vertical layout) have been moved over to the mobile category, as there is no discernable difference between the two.

So basically:

Vertical Layout is MOBILE (either website or the app) and must be played with touchscr
