Scrolling Hall of fame on Android is impossible

Whenever I want to scroll (swipe) high-scores, the game always goes back to the main menu. There is no way to look at further results.
Talk and discussions around the game "Rocks'n'Diamonds".

That means that you are using a global (system-wide) scores directory for R'n'D that exists in the path specified by "RW_GAME_DIR" in the game (which can be set in the top-level Makefile and which is set to "." by default).This reminds me of a high score issue I've been meaning to ask about for a while: when I play a level more than once, it only ever records one high score for me -- retaining the higher one, of course.
Yes, that's right, if I remember correctly. This is a fairly recent change (not sure when I changed that ... it is not yet changed in 4.0.0.0, but is in 4.1.4.1); before, you had to set "SCORE_ENTRIES" to either "ONE_PER_NAME" or "MANY_PER_NAME" in the top-level Makefile.I have this vague sense that there might have been or be a setting which controls whether a single username gets one or multiple entries in the table. I also think it might have been 'multiple' in the past and I fretted about my name wiping all others off the list, and you changed it.
The current approach indeed tries to be clever, but it may not work well for all situations, so a setup option like described above might be the best here.Ideally I'd want it to do some clever-ish management
Exactly. The Mac always was worst of all systems here, with the exception of a short time window. Before (for many years or even decades), Mac users had to cope with a scrollbar button that was always square, regardless of the amount of data to be displayed (even if it was only a single pixel that was not shown), while other systems (like Amiga or Unix) already had normal, usable scrollbars for a long time (and even those crazy, jumping scrollbars on Windows were not as worse as on the Mac). With Max OS X, they finally fixed their scroll bars, just to throw them away again after less than ten years (if I remember right). Now you have these nonsense "no scrollbars" defaults, but at least you can get back the naked scroll bar, while the nearly equally important scroll buttons are still gone (and won't come back, as Apple says). I have no freakin' idea why they deliberately crippled their graphical user interface that way...Regarding scrollbars, ugh, yeah. I especially hate the ones that disappear when not moused near. The size of the 'thumb' on the bar is important information: what fraction of the whole document you're currently looking at. Hiding that is terrible UI behavior.
Code: Select all
New top score! 12345 [only score in table]
New top score! 12345 [took top score away from yourself]
You beat your best: 12001
New top score! 12345 [took top score away from someone else]
You beat your best: 12001
You beat Holger: 12222
New high score! 12345 [beat own best score, not top score]
You beat your best: 12001
Top (Holger): 13456
New high score! 12345 [new score in table, not best]
Your best: 13003
Top (Holger): 13456
New high score! 12345 [new score in table, not best]
Top (you): 13456
