Score for Individual

[stevejubs]

I noticed that individual scores are not supported. I would like to add this feature. What do you think?

[GZTimeWalker]

what about this?

[stevejubs]

Got it, thanks a lot! I'm not using the developer branch, so maybe that's why I don't have the pie chart for individual scores.

[GZTimeWalker]

No bro, I just pushed this feature in a462cce

[stevejubs]

I have one more feedback, is it possible to combine the scores from all games and show them as each user's total score ?

[GZTimeWalker]

Hum, that's not possible based on current database design.
And you can't be sure that the scores of all the games have been normalized, so this data is of little value.

[stevejubs]

Got it, thank you bro.

I noticed that GZCTF only supports teams being able to join on-going games, but what about games where solo individuals can participate without having to create a team similar to CTFd? It'd be nice to be able to create games like these without having my players create their own team.

TL;DR:

GZCTF will probably never support individual participation without a team; any individual participation requires the creation of a team as the subject of the participation.

The main reason for this is that GZCTF is designed for better performance, which is very static and strongly typed, is very different from CTFd's dynamic design, and it is not possible to choose which database model to use at initialization time, as is the case with CTFd; on top of that, in order to ensure the greatest possible combination compatibility (you can try GZCTF's support for a player participating in multiple simultaneous games with different teams), the team is the subject of the participation and the user is the subject of logging in.

Ah. That makes sense. For individual games, what would you recommend? Them making their own seperate teams? Or is GZCTF not an ideal platform for something like this?

Just set the Maximum Team Member to 1, and let them to create their own teams. In terms of data modeling, the individual mode is just a special kind of team mode.

And it won't stop you from wanting to run any multiplayer game in the future, one player can have multiple teams.

Thanks. I appreciate the quick responses.
