Feature / ideas discussion

[etsardou]

Hey, great work so far! Here are random ideas that came to me as user, in order to make the tool more engaging:

• Several elements can be added to make the experience more standalone, enhancing the gamification. For example:
  • Create a score for each session, based on what medals the user gained and on what maps. For example there can be a multiplier based on the map's difficulty and specific points according to the medals. Also skips would reduce the score. This way each player would not play just to get the map, but will try to increase their score, or make high score.
  • All 4 medals could count to the result
• You can integrate all four widgets (time, medals etc) into a one-column widget to be more easily manageable
• You can show the difficulty of the current map (e.g. under the clock)
• You can add more property timers that will aid towards automatic skipping (e.g. skip the map if not gold/author after X minutes)
• You can add information about TMX times (if possible) and if TMX is beaten this could add more points to the score. Also you can provide an easy way to upload the replays (e.g. provide the link to the replay and the link to the map in the autosave replay window)
• The motion of the four small widgets seems to be a bit buggy (too much delay), in contrast to the main window.

That's all, keep up the good work :) If you like anything from the above you add create new issues/feature requests!

Hello, glad I am trying to refactor the project atm because many of these ideas would be unimaginable to implement in the latest release code. xd

Good points.

Create a score for each session, based on what medals the user gained and on what maps.

Scoring system could be an option, but I wanna work better towards making sure footage cannot be cheated in real-time, which could be a bit difficult with many of these rules on top (or as a different gamemode option).

You can integrate all four widgets (time, medals etc) into a one-column widget to be more easily manageable

Yeah, can do that for TMUF theme update

You can show the difficulty of the current map

Difficulty of the map cannot be really determined automatically. Length or TMX difficulty is the best you could use but in the end, this gets very subjective, and you can already filter these maps if you wanted.

You can add more property timers that will aid towards automatic skipping

Working with timers is a bit scary but I guess.

You can add information about TMX times

Not bad, the problem currently is "where". Widget could be multi-tab for example is maybe one way.

The motion of the four small widgets seems to be a bit buggy

I'm not sure either why is that the case, will think about it soon.

i would also be amazing if there was a RMS ( RANDOM MAP SURVIVAL) mode.
were it adds time to your timer if you complete a map and if the timer ends you fail.
