| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:50 | TommyO | ammadsaleem1: I would have the score calculated on scoreboard view and not stored anywhere I think |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:50 | ammadsaleem1 | can you also see a solution |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:51 | ammadsaleem1 | okay so each user must see his scorecard in oder for the leaderboard to be updated |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:51 | TommyO | get the answers. get the correct answer. calc the scores. cache if possible. display |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:51 | ammadsaleem1 | but there is another catch |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:52 | ammadsaleem1 | u cannot see the score card untill All questions have correct answers specified or till the Result announcement date has arrived |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:52 | ammadsaleem1 | now what |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:53 | TommyO | well that's easier still, since the scores are no-longer changing on the fly. have the process that 'closes' the quiz calculate the scores |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:53 | TommyO | now your bottleneck went awat again |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:53 | TommyO | *away |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:54 | ammadsaleem1 | scores can change on the fly |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:54 | TommyO | but if noone can see them then its moot |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:54 | TommyO | so there's no need to do the math |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:54 | ammadsaleem1 | quiz maker can change the correct answer any time |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:55 | TommyO | so what, since it doesn't matter until the event (closing the puzzle) has been triggered |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:55 | ammadsaleem1 | and can specify the result at any stage |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:57 | ammadsaleem1 | there is no such restriction |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 08:58 | TommyO | ok. let the action being taken touch the pieces it affects. someone answers a question, all scores relative to that question are adjusted. quizmaker changes an answer, all scores relative to that answer are affected. no major mass changes there |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 09:01 | TommyO | ammadsaleem1: and those events are easy, the afterSave() callback |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 09:02 | ammadsaleem1 | thanks tommy |
