Ok, this is a rather large request (I think), but I'd really like to be able to export my score list off the server to an excel file (or, more likely, to a tab/comma delimited text file). The reason is simple - when I'm optimizing scores, I go back and forth on my score list *a lot*, looking for scores I think I can optimize. Having only 20 scores on screen at a time is pretty limiting. Allowing me to export the score list would let me search for optimizable scores locally. This could probably save quite a bit of server loads (assuming that it's cheaper, bandwidth wise, to just send a large file once than to send a lot of smaller refreshes).

Not a large request at all... should be very easy, and I like the idea too. It would certainly be easier for the server to serve one large list of all of your demos than to have the page refreshed a couple hundred times. I'm working on some other things, but I'll add this to my todo list.

Ooooh, excellent idea. I've been slowly working my way up from the bottom of my list--I got JtRH before CaravelNet, so I wasn't even thinking about optimization, and my ranking for JtRH rooms tended to be around 150. (It's finally up to around 40, still much lower than my average rank across holds, which is 12.) So I've also been doing a lot of check-my-high-scores page, play, refresh, play, refresh...

This is up and working now. It will give you the list sorted however you have your scores sorted at the time.

This is pretty cool. Much opportunity for fiddling around in spreadsheets.

Heh, if I download and copy the #1 demos for my worst 1555 scores, my average rank will go down to 2. :)

In terms of moves per second, my slowest demo is war9 : zodiac : 1 South, 5 East with 2.79625 seconds per move[#1] and my fastest demo is Idiot's Castle : The Secret Elevator : 1 North, 2 East with a blistering 44.38 moves per second (thanks to Ctrl-5)



[#1] Interesting(?) fact: The time per move is capped at about 2.5 seconds, but double placement only counts as one move, but includes the times for all the placement steps, so that's how the average seems longer than it should be.
