Pulling in high scores from smfarcade into a block. Has anybody tried this?

[JayT]

Ray your code doesn't pull up the the arcade gif. It's missing this code:

//make the block content
$content .= "<table width=\"100%\" ><tr>
<td align=\"center\">
<a href=\"{$scripturl}?action=arcade\"><img src=\"{$settings['images_url']}/arcade_block.gif\"  border= \"0\" alt=\"Arcade\" /></a>
</td>
</tr>";

their are 2 codes -- one has all the code and the other is cut down

here is the link to the code with the icon at the top

I noticed after I posted that you don't use the gif on your site.

Thank Ray ! That's nice coding I'm looking for

First of all i wanna say thank you for this great code, works just fine 

I just have a question about high score block.
It shows me 2 things: The latest high score and top players.
Now the latest high score works great but i don't understand (and many on my site 2), how the top players is working.

One moment it shows 4 players ,then only 2, then 3. Is that normal? I thought it shows top 10 players.

And one moment some1 has 4 wins , then 2, then only 1 and that if he didn't play at all.

So can some1 explain me the working of this?

Greetings

It ranks the top 10 players by the number of trophies (highscores) they have.

If it is showing less, then it could very well mean that people are playing in the arcade and the high scores are being swapped out between players.

And this is normal?

So when i had 4 wins yesterday and i was in place 2 of top players for example.
And today i login , im not on the list anymore even if they play other games?

If someone else gets the high score then yes.

Anyone getting this red x?  Is it because I have a fresh install with no winners yet?  I'm on SMF 1.1 RC2, TP 0.8.6 with Arcade 1.2.4b.
