Does ataxx max out at 1241? Does ataxxj max out at 1700? If so, then can this be done relatively easily? If so, then shouldn't we either ban the game or come up with a different scoring method? Is this another freebie? Is Chris Parsley going to vehemently protest and cry foul if we ban it? Do we care?

Sorry, couldn't resist, but I'd still like to hear some opinions on, and answers to, at least some of my questions. :-)

Cheers, Ben Jos.

RTFM! :)

yeah i like the number of blobs you have times the opponents rating, i think time should only be added into the score when we make the game an all tg recordings game (so we can make sure no one uses pauses.) plus in ataxxj there is no timer that tallys the whole game, only one for a single move.

for now it should be ONLY number of blobs you have on the screen at the end of each game (including the last one) times the opponents ranking which is usually a 3 or 4 digit number. I haven't seen a lot of recent ataxx uploads so i haven't really gotten around to change it.

Everything should be all scored correctly, incidentlay no other inp file played back besides mine. I'm assuming it's because the leland games need sound off to record proper playbacks. Can anyone play my recordings back?
