Galcon developer wants YOU to improve rankings system
There's a prize on offer for your Python coding skills
Galcon is one of the more intriguing indie-developed iPhone games on the App Store, being a real-time multiplayer space strategy game, where you send ships to conquer planets with a flick of your finger.
Trouble is, its rankings system isn't working too well. That's what developer Phil Hassey says, anyway. And to fix it, he's launched a competition for coders.
"The current Galcon-iphone rankings system doesn't work very well!" he writes on the game's official website.
"It's too slow and not very accurate. Galcon is a multi-player game for 2-4 players. In each round there is one winner and no second place. I need you to code a new rankings system in python!"
The prize is an 8GB iPod touch, and the deadline for entries is October 5th. Hassey says he's keen to get some discussion going around the contest on the Galcon forums, too.
