Hi all!
Loving the new community on Lemmy. It grew to 18k FAST holy crap.
I was wondering if there was a simple self-hostable leaderboard available?
Nothing crazy like able to add a new row on the webpage, auto-sort to the top score is at the top, etc.
To help with context, a group of friends and I are playing DnD, and just recently we started dkeeping track of and playing a new meta game and keeping score.
Fastest player gets knocked to 0hp.
Fastest player death
most damage per turn
most damage per attack
Etc and stuff like that.
It’d be awesome if there was a self-hosted way to do this so all players can see quickly on a webpage instead of opening a shared spreadsheet.
Any ideas? Google is just showing me links to others asking the same question on Reddit.
well like the proper way to do it would be to just make a web app that interfaces with a database, not sure if there’s anything plug and play that does this tho
I’d been floating a similar idea for MAME arcade high scores.
Currently, when I play a game on my arcade cabinet, the marquee image gets a date and the game’s name stamped on it by ImageMagick, then gets uploaded so it can display on my blog. (yes – I haven’t played since March… I should really play on my cab more)
I kind of wanted to automate a high score list on my blog. Though I’m fairly sure that’s going to be considerably more work.
I used to have a high score page on my personal website with scores for my own games.
It was a simple submission php script that would add an entry to a database, and then the page to display the scores would simply query the table to display it on a page.
The submission script had a simple hash check to make sure no one was submitting fake scores outside of my games, but if this is just for you and your friends you likely don’t need such a thing.

Yeah, I’d search github for django implementations as you might have better luck searching something more specific.

I thought you meant a self hosted leaderboard. Who is winning at self hosting?
