Mr. Zeropage or another experienced coder,
I was wondering how difficult it would be to set up a cron job that reduces all the arcade scores by like 5% (multiply by .95, eh?) ?
This would effectively give users a chance at beating very high scores and inscentive for members to keep playing to beat their own high scores.
Right now I am using score pruning, but as soon as a high score is pruned (or all the scores in that game if there are only a few) the high score is 'open' and anyone to come along can score 1 point and take the high score and any money from vbux in the jackpot.
I thought a single cron job run once a day reducing the scores by a percentage would work great. (actually got the idea from an add-on for the other arcade version).
Cheers,
