hello there,
i think that some users stats (for on-line game) would be nice for example:
games played so far, win/loose counter, killed/loosed hedges, most favored weapon etc

stats could be seen in some game menu (info stored on local pc) or/and on web page (info stored on some server)

any chance that it will happen ?

This feature has been brought up several times, but there are a lot of "likers" and "haters" as there are good and bad sides to implement something like this.
Like rapid increase in ghost\fake accounts, nagging and bragging about status, huge database with constantly updated data that has little to no use, privacy issues, etc...
Please search a little I'm sure you'll find the right thread to continue this topic. (I'd link you myself but after 60 sec wasn't able to find it xD)

Could there at least be a tracker of how many games one has played? I'm getting tired of playing with noobs

@ westone
What for? The player could just create a new account.
Remember that Hedgewars has no restrictions for new account registration, and actually, you can even play without register at all.

What could probably work to "fix" your "need":
An "experience bar" could be added to the client (the information would also be stored on the client) so other players could "check it".
The experience points would last a month or so before expiring.
You'd get 3 exp points for each game completed and -5 for leaving a game in the middle after it started or something.

The problem is that even this idea could easily be messed with:
The players could just edit the file with information directly.
The less smart players would just create a useless account to make their main account get more experience
It would take a load of time to implement and test when for most players it's a completely useless feature
It would discriminate new players.
etc... (too tired to type)

The best idea it's still to add Achievements, most people find them funny, and depending on how many the person unlocked you can understand if they're hardcore or weekend players.

Well it would be relatively easy to display if a user is registered or not.
Maybe that would help a bit with telling new players from regular ones?

That sounds like a great idea sheepluva.
That way instead of sharing personal information (which causes a lot of problems in many points) it just shares "server information" instead that can technically already be checked in some tedious manual way.

I just got word that the new server will supply information necessary for such stuff. Maybe even a room option "only allow registered users to join" Smile

AWESOME

?:
what about allowing users to reset thier profile? IT will give genuinity to those who want it, and let others know when they are 'risking it'.
Seems like a good idea to me.
