Fair point on the scoring, seems like a lot of people feel that way. Right now, half your points come from distance in km, and half come from distance in years. So you probably got 5000 points for location, and lost points on the year. But it's probably a bit too harsh right now.
And thanks for pointing out the Vatican City nit.
- AlessandroF6587 2y agoWhat about going logarithmic with time? The more it's in the past the more errors are forgiven. Explained in another way use the relative time difference (diff/(now-value)) to compute the score and not the absolute time difference
- samplank2 2y agoGood suggestion
- mywittyname 2y agoLocation accuracy probably should be sinusoidal where the score is not really effected if the pointer is within ~10-20km of the event. For dates, I think it needs to take into account how far back something occurred, with recent history being +/-5 years, early modern being +/- 50 years, and ancient history being +/-500 years. That's closer to the resolution we think of events in (decades, centuries, millennia). You could probably even update the UI to have these graduations.
