Highscore with points and time

Questions & Answers
1

I’m making a highscore system for my game with the list method and I need to compare points and times to set the rank position.

I’ve already done this:

A script creates a “playerlist”.

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;

[Serializable]
public class players

{
	public List<PlayerData> pdata;
}

A script to set strings and ints

    using System;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Collections;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;
    
    [Serializable]
    public class PlayerData
{
        public int rank;
    	public string name;
    	public string time;
    	public int score;
    }

To set the rank I need to compare score and time between players, if at some point there will be tie by score, the time will set the rank of the player …

for example,

Player 1 - (Name: Bob - Score: 100 - Time 0:30)
Player 2 - (Name: Bill - Score: 100 - Time 0:28)

Player 2 made 100 points in less time, so he will be ahead in rank.

How do I make this comparison to set the rank of each player?

Thanks

You can simply sort your List after a certain criterium, for example the score. And then the rank of the player would simply be the list index + 1. You could also implement your own sorting function as argument in .Sort() if you don’t want do consider only the score.

pdata.Sort((x, y) => x.score > y.score); //either something like this, here you could implement your custom sorting logic

pdata = pdata.OrderByDescending(x => x.score); //or sort like this after an attribute

//assigning the ranks - should not be necessary anymore, since the list is already sorted like you want it
for (int i = 0; i < pdata.Count; i++){
	pdata*.rank = i+1;*

}
