I'm playing around with a native (non-web) single-player game I'm writing, and it occured to me that having a daily/weekly/all-time online highscore list (think Xbox Live Leaderboard) would make the game much more interesting, adding some (small) amount of community and competition. However, I'm afraid people would see such a feature as ...
Lets say I have around 1,000,000 users. I want to find out what position any given user is in, and which users are around him. A user can get a new achievement at any time, and if he could see his standing update, that would be wonderful. Honestly, every way I think of doing this would be horrendously expensive in time and/or memory. Id...
Ive been working on a feature of my application to implement a leaderboard - basically stack rank users according to their score. Im currently tracking the score on an individual basis. My thought is that this leaderboard should be relative instead of absolute i.e. instead of having the top 10 highest scoring users across the site, its...
Users on my site create annotations for rap lyrics (example). I want to create a leaderboard to reward the people who create the most annotations. The leaderboard should track how many annotations each user has created overall, as well as how many he has created in the past week, day, etc. I have no problem implementing the overall lea...
I'm currently working on drawing a tournament bracket for one of my projects. It seems to be working drawing smaller brackets but once I get to 16 it starts acting up. Follow through the links, and see how it falls out of place after 8. http://www.mattdsworld.com/mmaplayer/index.php/tournament/viewBracket/2 http://www.mattdsworld.com...

This isn't a new idea of course but I just wondered if anyone knew of the way I should implement this, and whether android provides any API's th...
Ok I want to keep track of how many times my iPhone App has been launched. I will be using this number for a "leader board" for our most active user. I figured the code needs to be in the -DidBecomeActive method being that in iOS4 the app may remain in the background for sometime. Now I know it's probably trivial and i'm just making it ...
I am using OpenFient for an online leaderboard in my game, but how can I get the leader board data (say top ten)? then display it in my own custom UI? Rather than having to use the open feint screen? Thanks. ...
Hi OpenFient give a sample of how I can get the high scores data using their API. They have a sample here: https://api.openfeint.com/api/games/116834/leaderboards/371803/highscores.xml If they were my games high scores, how would I put that into a table? Or displayable format in my game? Never done anything like this. ...

In Foursquare, the user who has the highest score for a place in the last N days is awarded the Mayorship of that place. What is the most efficient way to implement that? A user could have checked into hundreds of places. To display all the mayorships that belong to a user, it'd be necessary to go through all those hundreds of places ...
