Bomberman Games - New Scoring Proposal

greenspun.com : LUSENET : MAME Action Replay : One Thread

This scoring method is (1) slightly confusing and (2) quite a bit harder to keep track of, but would definitely reduce the number of ties and give a bonus for quicker wins.

The proposed scoring method is:

(time remaining on wins)*(number of contestants, including player) + 100*(number of wins) - (time used on ties) - (time remaining on losses)*(6 - number of contestants) - 50*(number of losses).

So, as an example:

Neo Bomberman: Map 2-1: 2'52 - win, 2'32 - win; Map 2-2: 2'44 - win, 0'33 - loss, 0'18 - loss

2-1 score: (172*2)+(152*2)+200 = 848 2-2 score: (164*3)-(33*3)-(18*3)+100-50*2 = 339 Total score: 1187

other Bomberman games: Level 1: 58 - win Level 2: 77 - win Level 3: 85 - loss Level 3: 92 - loss Level 3: 84 - loss

Score: (58*4)+(77*4)-(85*2)-(92*2)-(84*2)+100*2-50*3 = 108

Complaints, please!
