Awesome! I just joined the site and started entering my scores. Way cool! I’ve only added Seasons so far but hope to get all the rest in very soon.

Why isn’t angry birds, seasons, and rio not updating for the palm pre?

Problems with the old Palm OS firmware. Rovio said they won’t update for Pre until these are fixed, which Palm seems reluctant to do.

First to notice. BirdLeader wants to add a little more “social” to the ABN network, so we have introduced rankings. You earn points for different things you do around the site (even visiting each day gets you points). It’s super new — just went live a couple hours ago — and still needs a little more pushing and finalization. You can also see these rankings in your personal leaderboard.

Inevitably, these icons will appear in the leaderboards as well, next to that Top Scorer’s name. You can already see this if you check out the Rio leaderboard and hunt down some of manu malin’s records. (He has been preset with a ranking; we plan to go through in the next couple days and promote a few notable members.)

Exactly, it’s called, “gamification”. It’s a way to make the site more engaging and interactive while rewarding loyalty. This is just the tip of the iceberg on a bunch of schedule updates throughout the site. This feature is most definitely still in “beta”, so if anyone notice anything funky or has suggestions please let me know.

Still in “beta”, but right now it’s basically comments and daily check-in. (Note that spamming won’t help: your points for commenting are removed if your post is trashed.) I’d also like to get the leaderboard involved in this as well, but right now that’s just an idea.

Apparently I didn’t follow this thread so far. Therefore I didn’t notice the statement on your innovation yet. The idea of own ranking system in addition to the existing leaderboard sounds really great! According to that, though this feature is already implemented manu is the first and only one with a ranking until now?
Anyway it seems to be quite challenging to combine score, comment and visiting into one single digit. But I really appreciate your work and effort on this site and I always look forward to some new interesting stuff! :)

You’re ranked now as well, “Champion”. We went through and promoted a few notables. I’m sure we’ll be promoting a few others over time, but we tried to find the cream that rises to the top. This includes you, manu, Chaos, and a few others.

The way it will work in the leaderboards is that the badge will show for any Top Scorer who has at least surpassed “Flinger” stage.

As Slim said, we have prompted some longtime users who always go above and beyond. That said, when I first implemented this I had no badge system. I have since created one, so the “admin” rank will be removed in favor of a badge. There will also be a badge for, “Alumni”, which many of you will likely receive. So the long and the short of it is this: we have a ranking / points system and a badge system. Rank is determined by your points, which you can earn by interacting on the site. Badges are manually assigned by the ABN crew. Hope that makes sense. I will be putting a post together relatively soon that explains all this and lists on the different badges and ranks.

Are you going to post a grid on the icons so we have something to shoot for? You could put a question mark on the actual icon (like they do in Game Center) and just list the name.

Rank: Master Slinger with 15435 points

The first icon is your rank on the site. Everyone started at 0–Flinger and you can accumulate points by, for example, visiting the site daily and commenting. (Note: Spamming won’t help you. If a comment is traded, the points you had earned for the comment are trashed as well.)
Additional icons are badges, which (for now) are assigned manually. Your badge is (the name alludes me, sorry) for being a major contributor to the minimum 3-star scores.

Avatar of frozndevlRank: Slinger with 1240 points
By frozndevl (@frozndevl)

I’ll reply to myself because I can. A suggestion for the leaderboard would be some way to identify if a high score has been previously flagged, and then validated and found to be accurate. This could save the admins time from tracking things down or having to keep a manual list, and could give some confidence to the users that the high scores are valid. I guess in theory any score that is flagged could have a “validated” or “certified angry” status on it.

Once again replying to myself. To go along with my “certified angry” comment, something along the lines of the badges could be implemented. Those of us that frequent the boards / forums know who the reliable and skilled shooters are. New people, seeing some of the scores may not understand what is really possible. Could there be a “certified angry” (or something appropriate) badge for the shooters that are known to be skilled. I use Mr.Potata, Habanero, and Manu as examples. Although there are badges out there for various accomplishments, they don’t have real meanings, to me at least.

@trishohara: I found an easy and well working formula to identify those levels you should improve first:

[user-defined coefficient] * [(Rank on level * Off High By) / -(Number of users for particular episode)]

This generates a digit between 0 and 100 (depending on coefficient; could be 5, 10 or something like that).
~0 means: Awesome score. No improvement necessary.
~100 means: Bad score. Try to improve this one first.

You can indicate all levels at specified intervals with colours as well, like me: KLICK
I personally use the colours of item quality from World of Warcraft: Common (white) < Uncommon (green) < Rare (blue) < Epic (purple) < Legendary (orange).
It definitely helps a lot!

The reason using this formula is simply that both rank and score are important in the same way, if you try to detect which level needs to be improved first.

Thankfully ABN introduced rank on personal leaderboard so all gets much easier from now on! :)

Rank: DaBomb with 335 points
By gavza (@gavza)

Actually, I think a couple of things would be really useful.

1. Percentile rank – this allows you to normalize rank based on the number of scores for a level, and is:

(Rank * 100)/Number of scores entered for level

This is guaranteed to be between 0 and 100, with smaller being better – i.e. top 5% better than top 50%.

It also mean percentile ranks are comparable across all games, so I can see which is my worst percentile rank level across all of them, and concentrate on that level first.

2. Change “Off average” column to also show positive numbers – I’m now above average for all ABS levels (which is not the case for AB!), but can’t sort by how far above the average I am. If this column showed positive numbers too, e.g. +100 means I’m only 100 above the average, then I can sort by the column to identify the levels easily that I’m only just above the average for.

3. Z-score

The Z score is a measure of how many standard deviations a value is from from the mean. E.g. if the average (mean) for a level is 100,000 and the standard deviation is 10,000, and my score is 105,000, then my Z-score for that level will be +0.5 ((105,000-100,000)/10,000). This helps control for which levels have a broad vs. a tight distribution of scores. Sorting by Z score would allow me to target those levels where I am most likely to improve my score, as they would have the lowest Z-scores.

By the way, thanks for the additions to the leader board – the site is great!

You’re very welcome. I love these suggestions. #2 should be easy enough to do, so I’ll work on that one first. #1 and #3 shouldn’t be too hard either, but I don’t have a great way to display that info as we’re running out of space. My current idea on how to solve that problem is to allow you to be able to toggle different view settings, replacing the data in one column, with something else. For example, you could replace “Rank” by “% Rank”. I’ve added all this to my list. Thanks again.

I really like #2 – would be useful to know how far above average you are.

Just a bit of fun trivia for you – according to my spreadsheet, currently the version where the high scores are closest to the average is AB Lite, with the high score around 12.4% above the average. The lowest one is Rio Full, at around 14.9%

Z-score might also allow you to find outlying scores more easily and systematically. Either sort all scores across all games by z-score, to find those that are furthest above the mean (in terms of standard deviations), or for all levels, look at the z-score difference between the top and second ranked scores for each level, and sort by that difference. Just a thought.

I love the Z-score project. You could also make a dispersion curve of each level (most probably a gaussian) –> the maximum of this curve will be different from scores average, but more significant I think. If the variance is very low (the curve looks like a pick), it will be difficult to improve your score.

Makes me feel like I’m back in school. Sorry ;)

I will try it for a few levels

#2 is truly helpful and kinda obvious as well. Like it.

But what I tried to explain above is that both rank AND score should be combined in an expedient number. Though average score is slightly better than only high score you definitely need the rank to make a right statement about improving your next level. I think it does make sense…

There is a little trouble with sorting the leaderboards by rank : the sorting seems to be alphanumeric instead of numeric (like the off average comumn long time ago).

Hi to al ABN hope it is okay to put this here..firstly the new rank per level is so helpful ,and certainly brings u back to earth with a thump ..I have been going back over eirly episodes to improve ,and 1 idea that I thought may help is knowing from the leader board if the high score had come from 1 bird for that episode ,as I find it has helped me no end in many levels ..I love idea of the country rank ,.and a quick hint to any1 that plays while outside that finds it hard to see due to glare ,whatever ,,try playing with black on white turned on ..as always many thanks to the best site around ,it’s my first bookmark .Have a good year …

Welcome to ABN.. its a very helpful site we all learn from each other. ? How can you tell high score is from one brd? I just recently joined the leaderboard and did not see that
Good idea though if its not already in place:)

HI Kathy hope u are well..I jnormally just find from reading the comments in the walkthroughs ,quite often from the players that I am trying to catch ( wishful thinking) ..just thought it would save time if it was a confirmed 1 Birdy on the leader board ,especially if u have been close to doing it ,makes u keep trying again an again and again ,lol …have a good day ..

Why not ‘force’ everyone who entered a highscore, to describe in the walkthrough how they did it?
I think that would help more, than having a column in the leaderboards, how many birds were used.
And it would make cheating/faking highscores more difficult

I was in know way suggesting anything like that ,for 1 the ppl that monitor the leader boards take that job very seriously and are good at it ,and u can be sure any high score that is not for real will not be there for long at all ,between the managers of the site and the scrutiny of the players they would be sorted out quick smart.2 sharing info is fine and in abundance ,and just because u know how something is done ,does not nessasarily mean that u can replicate it ,..part of the reason I like this site is the fact that I know my scores are up against true scores…

@xebic88: I could mention all levels at least on Rio where 1-birder are possible. But there is an interesting fact that such a good player as you should know about:
1-birder isn’t always the best approach! That’s why walkthrough pages are the only chance to share all strategies and the efficient number of birds to be used.

@trishohara: Enforcement is usually the worst option. Sometimes you don’t remember exactly your approach after few attempts or you just don’t know how to describe it. Maybe someone doesn’t want to be a real part of this community but wants to enter his scores anyway. Though explaining your approaches is certainly helpful it should never be forced.

Hi Higgins yes I do realize multiple birds in many occasions is needed for more destruction ..I think my comment is partly driven by a few levels that I have recently returned to ,I had been stuck on 137k in 4-8 in rio ,coulnt guess at how many times I had played it ,and then 2attempts in I get 147k ,,but yeh I do get your point ..cheers and good luck with the not to far of updates

4-8 is a nightmare… I gave up to achieve a 1-birder here a long time ago! ;)

Hi xebic88…. I am srry, I misunderstood, that would be a good idea…sometimes I thnk I can get a one birder and try try try, would be nice to know if it was possible, beforehand rayther than trying in vain as I often do, lol ty for your help:)

I agree completely. To start the ball rolling, yesterday I got a “top score” of 108,560 in ABO 5-8. This was done with only one yellow bird, aiming high, boosting the bird and passing it between the 3 stone balls and the left edge of the front cross mast of the ship at just the right angle to hit the helmeted pig and then penetrate the deck and explode the TNT. I was able to get this outcome perhaps once every 10 to 20 tries, but only once out of perhaps 25 successes with TNT explosion was the destruction so great as to get all the pigs and most of the components of the boat. I believe that this “top score” came from practicing the aiming, being very persistent, and a lot of luck in getting just the right TNT explosion.
