Did the scoring algorithm change?

Seems like the scores I am getting today are much much lower than in the past.  New bug?

No new bug here.


I made a change which resulted in many new cubes (300-400) being generated today. If you’re the first person to trace a cube, you will get some points for effort (up to 20 per cube) but you won’t get the normal bonuses for correctness (we have nothing to compare you against, since you’re first). Things should get more normal over the next couple of days as people trace these new cubes.

Thanks for asking!

Not that I really understand the purpose of the score, but I use it as a feedback of how well I did on that cube.  When I see lots of 20s I think I am doing something wrong.  Perhaps some feedback to the user so he knows that he is the first person would help them know that they are not floundering.

Definitely. We used to do this, but through the iterations it fell through the cracks. I’ll add it to my to-do list.


Thanks!

Yeah, the score is disappointing and random. I think it would be better if there were maybe two scores - one you get for work that is immediate, and one that builds up as your predictions are matched. e.g. you get Exp when you do work and trace, and you level up when your traces are matched. (And then I would want to come back later and see if I leveled up!)
