HAL2000

I assume, this league has sadly stalled.... Are there plans by anybody to revive it again? And is there enough interest by the players to do so? Cheers, HAL2000.

I had some trouble setting up the local lobby but finally got it to work today. I have attached a first quick script that collects very basic information. The imagined use-case would be to put it into `source/tools/XpartaMuPP` and execute something like: python3 UserStats.py > userStats.dat gnuplot -e "stats 'userStats.dat'; plot 'userStats.dat' with histeps title '# of Users'" Assuming that you have gnuplot installed, this should give you a plot of a histrogram showing how many players have a given ELO. I have noticed, that there is no information stored about when a given player has played his last rated game, so it is difficult to outrule accounts that have been there for a long time. I don't know if it would be worth the effort to store the date of a game, so that this could be done in future releases. Also, it might be interesting to look at correlations between won games and the total score that are both stored in `games` and `players_info`, respectively, in the database. This might give interesting insight into how useful the score actually is from a statistical point of view. However, I have not yet found the time to write apropriate analysis scripts. UserStats.py

I don't want to be rude, but I'd like to know if there is progress being made on this topic, or if I could possibly help somehow.

I would really like to see some very basic statistics about the (active) user base in the multiplayer lobby. Things like how many players have registered and a histogram showung the distribution of players in dependence on their ELO would be especially great, since they would allow users to estimate, how strong players with a given ELO actually are. Also it would be good to see, whether the ranking system is doing its job well, i.e. whether the distribution is realistic (e.g. normally distributed) or has features indicating problems (like e.g. severeal local maxima in the distribution). I have heard that the necessary data could be crunched, only it has not been done so far. Hence I would appreciate if either people with acces to the raw data provided some kinds of stats or made raw data available for me to crunch by myself. Cheers, HAL2000
