Talk:Solver Statistics

In the links where they take you to the level set's summary page, what do you think the proper format should be?

Right now, it's mostly:

   Solver Statistics - <level set author> | <level set name> 


   when we know who the author is.
   Otherwise, I left the <level set author> to be the level set name.

Do you think the link format should be changd to this?

   Solver Statistics - <level set name> | <level set name>

I think the name of the author should be there anywhere. Maybe it's a good idea to add the name in the table:
Collection name, Author, Levels, BoxSearch, Takaken, YASS ?

Solido has used the "tip" template to display the results compacter. Here it is:

XSokoban Statistics
	BoxSearch	Takaken	YASS
failed on these levels where at least one solver solved	count: 36 [maps:] 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 23 , 25 , 27 , 28 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37, 39 , 42 , 44 , 45 , 48 , 57 , 61 , 71 , 72 , 73, 74 , 76 , 85 , 87 , 89 , 90	count: 0	count: 51 [maps:] 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 22 , 23 , 25 , 27 , 28 , 30 , 31 , 33 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 39 , 42 , 44 , 45 , 48 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 67 , 68 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 76 , 79 , 85 , 87 , 89 , 90
solved these levels where all other solvers failed
failed on these levels where all other solvers solved
total solved	42	78	27
total failed	48	12	63

I think it's a good idea, isn't it ?

I think it's a good idea that we add a column for "author". I added this column to the table.

Discussion topic: Do you think we should name all of the summary pages (and links) without the level set's name ?

I think it's better not to use the author's name. For example, for the Sven collection, we have:

 Solver Statistics - Sven Egevad

This is ok if we have only one set from this author. For authors (i.e. David W Skinner) with multiple level sets, this won't work. As a work around now, I appended a number after the author's name.

I think we should really change this to use the level set name instead of the author's name. Furthermore, we are really referring to the results of using a particular level set.

So, I think a link should be like this: (again using Sven as an example)

   Solver Statistics - Sven level set

And for David W Skinner, we have these:

   Solver Statistics - Microban level set
   Solver Statistics - Mas Microban level set
   Solver Statistics - Sasquatch level set

instead of:

   Solver Statistics - David W Skinner
   Solver Statistics - David W Skinner 2
   Solver Statistics - David W Skinner 3

This will make it easier to create the link with a logical/reasonable format and won't have any collision. Please let me know if you like this idea or not.

You are right. It doesn't make sense to use names like "David W Skinner 3" ...
We should use the set name instead. The new author column shows the author name - that's enough.
