CSSBattle scoring backend updates

[chinchang]

Players, scoring backend has been updated to latest Chromium.

Known breaking changes:

1. -- is not a valid variable name anymore. Existing solutions using -- will fail to render in the latest version of browser on your side and also won't render on the backend now. We'll soon put an outdated tag also on such solutions (wherever visible as open solutions)

[verberg]

Do i understand it correctly? It is no longer possible to top your own results?

@SkyHolder do you mean whoever will be online at the time of reset and submit old scores with 2 new additional chars, gets all the glory?
not really 😉

[verberg]

@Beowolve That's exactly the problem: Sometimes I'm so happy to reduce one or two or three chars (you see I'm modest) to get more scores and now - no chance! It's annoying!

[SkyHolder]

I believe that the new version of the rules should lead to a new version of the best solutions, hence the new leaderboard

[rafehimself]

there is no rules here if you haven't noticed that yet

[SelenIT]

Sometimes new updates open new opportunities for shorter solutions. E.g. one of the updates broke the 109-char solution for Target 3, but another update enabled the 108-char solution that did only 99.9% match previously.

[APerricone]

so cssbattle previewer is no more valid?

[SelenIT]

I assume it's valid, as it uses the actual renderer (more or less:)

[rafehimself]

I wouldn't be so sure about it, might be misleading at the moment
that gets 100%

while something that looks more accurate not 😞
