Hey @pinkfloyd878,
great work updating the game so quickly!
Please allow me to pick on a few details:
- The secret part isn't fully clear to me yet: if the secret is updated every 60s, and @hashscore.fun tells me the secret in the response memo, then there's still the situation that for up to ~60s (minus response time) I have all inputs to pre-calculate my score. While much harder than before, it's still an edge for users who can run the calculations, and not fair for users who can't (or did I misunderstand how it works?).
- For the 'trust' claim: the current implementation provides no proof that the 'secret' isn't tailored to the first player in a 60s window. @magicdice had this situation covered with publishing the seed hash ahead of time.
Hello @minus-pi there is a secret generated every 60 seconds, and saved, and is valid for the minute the timestamp that comes from the blockchain. if 2 transactions are recorded in that minute window, they both will have the same secret attached. if the secret was published ahead of time, then players could use that and try to line up the timing, right? It was a brainstorming job to get it updated, and a bunch of test!!!! and with the locked amount and the minute window, i feel you need to be a quantum computer to get it right... 😁
I like what you're doing with HashScore! I don't know where this will go, but it is good to see people trying new things on Hive.
I did some transactions and saw the same secret for 2 of them, as they were within 60 seconds. I see that you think the 60 second / one minute window is good enough, and maybe that is true. Is there any reason why you don't just do a new secret after every transaction? Then there is no chance for anyone to know the secret, I think. :)
Best wishes to you and your game / token!

thank you!! i think it will go far because it can only get better and i have many ideas to play with. as for the secret dont worry, that whole process is being redesigned where the secret hashed will be public then when a new secret is made, the old one will be revealed. just takes time... so much to do :) !PIZZA
