about the highscores

[MEGAginge]

why is the high score list in th downloadable version different from the online version of FFr? I set the top 15 scores in the downloadable version of 136.6, only to realise its not the master high score sheet. This is irritating as my scores would completely dominate the real top ten if they were the same thing, with only ducknoodle soups score being ahead of my ones... Seriously, I would be #2-10 ATLEAST, whats goin on synth?

We have the problem of not being able to control when and if people use the beta of the downloadable version. Lets say for instance in the next revision, the hi-score list includes your name along with your perfect/good/average/miss arrows and your score. This becomes a problem if there are people using the beta version which talks to the server the old way and sends the wrong information. So to solve this problem while we are in beta, there are seperate scores for the downloadable version.

The final version (whenever that happens) of the first FFR will have a lockdown on the way it keeps score and both the downloadable and online versions will deal with the same scores.

Sorry about that Mega. When i released it, i posted in the news item, the readme.txt and in the downloads area. Do not fear. We will try to wrap up Version 1.0 asap and you will be able to conquer.
