threadhealper Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Basically it's an automated game on forums that gives you points and updates a leader board based on those points. Example: https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/802725?n=1 Does anyone know of a place I could find how to replicate this on another forum?

requinix Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Sounds simple enough: when someone posts, look at the last post and calculate a number of points to award the poster. Do you have a more specific question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 That was not a forum-wide function, but related only in that one thread. Most forums have an underlying database, so if you understand the database structure, have the appropriate access to develop code and connect to the underlying database using credentials, it is possible to write code that goes through the posts in the thread, and performs calculations on them. It appears to me that the developer of that "game" did something like that, and likely automated the update process of the original thread post, as the statistics appear to be current, even though the "gaming" was initiated 4 years ago. Any approach to something like this would be entirely based on the underlying forum software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
