Hard Dunk (harddunk)

Post by Pika163 »

I was just playing the game "Hard Dunk" and it looks like a different set-up than other basketball games. For example, there isn't just one "game", it's like a series of rounds to play. Whenever you score 11 points per round, you win that round and then go on to the next one. Nobody's posted an .inp yet, so I wasn't sure how to score this game, hence the poll. Here are the options I've come up with so far.

Method 1: 100 points per round won, plus point difference on each round.

Example: You win the first three rounds but lose the fourth. You take away the difference from the opponent's points from yours:

11-5 (100 + 6), 11-2 (100 + 9), 11-7 (100 + 4), 4-11 (0 - 7) = 312

Method 2: 100 points per round won, plus total points

Example: You win the first three rounds but lose the fourth. You add up the total points scored.

11-5 (100 + 11), 11-2 (100 + 11), 11-7 (100 + 11), 4-11 (0 + 4) = 337

Method 3: One point per round won.

Example: You win the first three rounds but lose the fourth. You add up how many rounds you won.

11-5 (1), 11-2 (1), 11-7 (1), 4-11 (0) = 3

If anybody has a different idea about scoring methods, please post your idea.

This poll will run for the standard 7 days.

As a general rule of thumb, MARP tends to use factors of 10 for points (10, 100, 1000, etc). Otherwise Method 1 would be my choice - 100 * rounds won + point difference.

Thanks for the tip, Barthax. The poll and post have been changed to reflect this.
