This sounds like an easy thing but when i considering the following
- Many players
- Some have played many games and some just started
- Different type of statistics
...on what information should the actual ranking be based on. I am planning to display the board in a UITableView so there is limited space available per player. However, I am not bound to the UITableView if there is a better solution.
This is a quiz game and the information i am currently capturing per player is:
- #games played totally
- #games played per game type (current version have only one game type)
- #questions answered
- #correct answers
Maybe i should include additional information.
I have been thinking about having a leaderboard property page where the player can decide on what basis the leaderboard should display information but would like to avoid the complexity in that. However, if that is needed i will do it.
Anyone that can give me some advice on how to design the presentation of this would be highly appreciated?
