Quoted from deejaypee:Bumping this… I finally had some time to play tonight and got a pretty good score (well, for me… 19 mil), and I excitedly went through Scorbit trying to figure out how to send a challenge to someone. But I am not smart enough. That or Scorbit thinks trying to challenge with 19m is too pathetic to allow.
There are two kinds of challenge features on Scorbit, regular Challenges and Challenge Matches, though right now only one (Challenges) is available in production. Challenge Match is premeditated, Challenges happen after a game is complete. Here's how it works:
- You play at great game.
- After the game you Save to Leaderboard. NOTE: If you have auto-save turned on, you skip this step, so you can't challenge!
- You are presented with a sharing and challenges screen. You can tag anyone you want to beat your score.
- You click Send Challenge.
- Anyone you challenged gets a notification to beat your score.
- If your challenge is accepted (which you do by clicking the "ACCEPT" button underneath the challenge, either in the Challenge menu, your user profile, or the score itself in the Community feed and Details), then the person who accepted the challenge can respond in turn with their game.
If you accept multiple challenges for the same machine, you will play them out first challenge accepted, first one played.
Quoted from RA77:Awesome score daveyvandy
I seen your challenge on Scorbit the other day, but I was unable to get it to accept
I am running Scorbit on Android and it has been a little hit and miss. Its like it loses communication with the pin mid game
That's interesting, I'd love to know more! If you don't mind, email [email protected] with your Android version, the phone type, and when you see the connection dropping. What happens if you re-navigate to the game, does it pick up where it left off? (It should.)
Quoted from daveyvandy:Thanks man, I'm also running Scorbit on Android and I have had some problems here and there. I was worried I wouldn't be able to save the score to the leaderboard lol. It seems like if you don't press things in just the right order at the right time then you can lose some good scores.
Generally, the way it should work is, when you're done with a game, you can save it or throw it away. If you didn't have your app on and never claimed it, you can't go back and claim it after a certain period has passed or new games started, because otherwise we'd have folks hanging out in arcades accidentally claiming other people's scores.
If you want, you can set up auto-claim (for taking player slots) and auto-save (for automatically saving), but to claim a slot, your phone must be open and navigated to the game. Some people like to save every score, others like to save only their best.
We are adding a couple features soon that I think will help in these situations: One is called "hog mode," which doesn't require your phone be unlocked/open to auto-claim. However, if you walk away from a game for more than a couple minutes, you have to re-press the hog button to keep auto-claiming. Another feature you may like is the ability to go back to scores you claimed but didn't save and save them later, giving you the ability to share them at that time.
