I'ce just been playing some World Of Goo Corp and its showing names again. I assume this means 2D Boys fixed the problem and new users can upload their profile through the browser again.

*shock*
For a moment I thought you were talking about "THE" leaderboards (the official ones).

Afriad not. Didn't they get stopped for cheating/hacking?

Yep, they were. First thing I did after reading your post was checking, of course. Wink

lol. My bad, I've changed the title. I never got to see them or my handle on them Sad

One thing I think the leaderboards here need is a level leaderboard. Just having a list of profiles is a bit messy.

Ditto. Started playing too late, too. Puzzled
Agreed on the leaderboards here. Proposed the same thing to davidc a while ago. As 2D Boy still hasn't gotten in contact with him, I guess I'll ask him again and maybe also do the coding after all.

Well, it's back online for now. Fingers crossed, Goo Builders.

As for the level leaderboard davidc already coded them, I don't know why he didn't put them online. They would only show scores that are uploaded by hand.
davidc ask 2dboy to host leaderboards so that thay can have live update as well...

I was talking about the redesign of the leaderboards to reflect top balls, moves, and time (and maybe also level specific stats), not about davidc's infrastucture for collecting real-time data from WoG.

Me neither. Puzzled
I had asked davidc if I could write a new version to support the features mentioned and he said yes, but wanted to wait some time in case 2D Boy would finally contact him about rerouting the real-time data to goofans (which was already coded at that time). He didn't come back to me until now and I was planning on asking again, soon.

He will probably see this topic and answer us here, I hope Smile

The leaderboards you refer to as already coded were quite specific to the live game data. I can probably do something similar based on uploaded profiles instead.
