Added

  • A Hall of Fame board on the front page. Every run that starts appears on it — how far it got,
    in score and moves — with runs being played right now marked PLAYING NOW, and finished runs
    ranked above the rest by move count. Nobody has finished the game yet, so the board is a list of
    attempts for the moment, which is the point: it shows that people are playing.
  • A name of your own, asked for once, on the screen where you choose your characters. It is
    optional, twelve characters, and an untouched field simply reads Anonymous. A checkbox on the
    same screen keeps your run off the board entirely — untick it and nothing about your game is ever
    sent anywhere.
  • A flag beside each name. It comes from the country the request arrives from and is never more
    than that: no account, no address stored, nothing that identifies a person. A run is a name, a
    country, a score, a move count, and the times it started and was last seen.

Notes

  • The board is an arcade cabinet, not a record book. It cannot tell an honest run from an invented
    one, and it does not pretend to — the machines it imitates could not either.
