Score Post, by Kharmen
------------------------------
The Score Post is a game monitor which will display the 10 best scorers as floating text over a single-prim post. It can be customised for any game that announces the scorer's name at the end of a game, and can be set to rank either high scores (descending) or low scores (ascending).
To set up a Score Post, the game is played to identify the text strings which precede & follow the scorer's name, and those which precede & follow the score. These are then specified on the data notecard in the Post's Content. After the next game is played, Score Post will acquire the game key to ensure that no spurious messages will be accepted, and will display the first and subsequent scorer's which will be displayed in rank order.
Two ready-made data notecards are supplied for the Tower of Hanoi puzzles available on Market Place (see Related Items below): one to show time taken to solve the puzzle, and one to show the number of moves.
It is impossible to anticipate all possible formats of winning message. If you find that you cannot capture the data of a particular game, please send me a copy of the winning message and I will endeavour to modify the script to accommodate it.
