Perhaps this: (Dungeon Level * (Experience + Gold)) / (Turns Taken/Dungeon Level) An example (since you're tracking kills on the leaderboard and not experience, I multiplied the kills by 100 to get a toy EXP): 19 * (14700+4990) / (8952/19) = 794 points. This formula rewards diving deep into the dung...

One leaderboard thing I'd love to see: expand to Top 100, but also show the Bottom 50. :twisted: I always loved the Atari games of the 80's-early 90's, where their leaderboard was at least 100 long, and sometimes 1000 long! You'd see your name, 495th out of 500, and you think, "Well, at least I...

I downloaded at 8:00:31 PST. :mrgreen: On whim I checked the App Store at exactly 8pm, and saw it. Time to take Sir Drahma down into the Dungeons of Dooooooooooooooom! ...where he promptly gets pwned on Floor 1 by a Hobgoblin... with 0 gold to show for it! Probably the worst Rogue game EVAH! :lol:

Oooh... can you make names that violate the swear trap get negative stats when they start? Like 1HP, no weapon, no armor, starting in a monster room? The death message could be "Next time, pick a nicer name." or something. As for looting, randomly generated items would likely be just fine....

That is a great and original idea, although a bit game breaking =P. Just the messages? It'd be funny getting memo's from forum members. "Moar Cornucopia staff p...lz... -Hulk" Perhaps the corpse has been *mostly* looted, and thus only one item (could be randomly generated if the inventory...

Thanks for the kind words! Another idea you could implement is the bones file shop... which is this: if you record possessions as part of your final high score, you could implement a global bones file of sorts. At the beginning of each game, randomly choose 5 corpses from the unsuccessful high score...

I agree; the number of items should be very limited. This may have been suggested already, but what if the "shop" was a person, a "creature" you found wandering the floors (essentially another follower of Yendor who's more keen on making a buck and getting the heck out of the dun...

I suppose I better post more then if I want my username to count!

That's a cool idea you have CD; it's a good reward for us in the community (even lurkers like me)!

Agreed. It's much more fun to play around and find it rather than get a list given to us via reverse engineering.
