Rabbit Chase Scoring

[Mark_IV]

What is with the percents when you play rabbit chase. When you start, you have a score of 0-0, yet you have 50%. If you become rabbit and kill someone, you have 1-0, but not 100%. I just wanted to know why the percents on rabbit chase don't correspond with your score.

I think the percentage has to do with how long you are the rabbit out of your total play time or something. I don't know for sure though, so I am curious as to how that exactly works as well.

It can't be that, because if you start, you have been rabbit 0% of the time, yet you start at 50%.

It's the "rabbit score", which is calculated by passing in the wins and losses to this function, and then multiplying by 100:

Code: Select all

// Take into account the quality of player wins/(wins+loss)
// Try to penalize winning casuality
static float rabbitRank (int wins, int losses) {
  // otherwise do score-based ranking
  int sum = wins + losses;
  if (sum == 0)
    return 0.5;
  float average = (float)wins/(float)sum;
  // IIRC that is how wide is the gaussian
  float penalty = (1.0f - 0.5f / sqrt((float)sum));
  return average * penalty;
}
