As of version 1.0.12-Beta the scoring is calculated as follow:
The maximum score for each level are set to:
- Level 5: 360.000
- Level 4: 250.000
- Level 3: 160.000
- Level 2: 90.000
- Level 1: 36.000
A player starts with the maximum score (opposite of how it works in the previous versions) and points will be deducted based on time, hint and error.
1 ) When a starts the game, (s)he gets the maximum number of points assigned.
2) For each 5 seconds that (s)he plays 15 points, multiplied with the level, will be deducted from the score (in other words: 3 points per second * level).
e.g. a player has played 42 minutes in level 3. The total deduction would be: ((42 *60)/5) * 15 * 3 = 22680 points.
3) For each error that results in two numbers conflicting in a row, column or segments a total of 1,000 points will be deducted (for each level the same)
4) For each hint that a person requests, 2000 pints will be deducted.
5) if the user browses back in history and than forward again, errors that had been made previously should not be counted again.
6) If the placing of an incorrect number result in 2 or more conflicts at the same time, the error will only be counted once.
7) Minimum score is ZERO (no negative numbers)
