Welcome at bzstats.strayer.de!
This is the first version of BZstats. After a relative successful test of the preceding proof of concept, this web page is primarily designed to
find BZFlag servers and players on the Internet without using the BZFlag client.Beside the implementation of the most active leagues you can also find some other information here, like common BZFlag related stuff and statistics for servers and players. Those will become much more during the next time. All used data sources for this web page are publicly-available and automatically kept up-to-date. There's no direct connection between this web page and the project of the game BZFlag. So notices and suggestions for improvements are very welcome but (finally) I'll be the one who decides if they will be realized or not. For further information about the BZstats or the use of the web page, have a look into the FAQs. If this isn't helpful or detailed enough you can send me an email. Have fun... ;o) Common statistics

This weekend some maintenance stuff has been done - such as refreshing the leagues' match server lists or setting up a page for the current ZELO rating formula of the 1vs1 League.
Behind the visible elements I redefined parts of the database model for the current BZstats' successor. I hope to run a prototype of a new master server query element within the next two weeks. Since BZFlag has only one primary server list, this isn't that spectacular or useful, but I'll run it for other games (with more master server lists) too. This includes work on an algorithm to calculate a list of the next game server(s) to be queried, considering last state, current player activity, common attractiveness and so on... That's it so far, so: Live long and prosper!

The bzflag.org DNS change (moved sites, replaced [sub]domain names) cause a few updates. Beside the obvious - replacing http://my.bzflag.org/bb/ by http://forums.bzflag.org/ - the BZXleague has been removed finally. Now, the old list server and the new list server are queried to pick up old servers too which weren't restarted by there owners.
You might notice some temporary disappearance of a few servers. This is the result of some short service downtimes. These downtimes seem to occur in non-regular intervals. Please don't be confused then. :o)

Not sure anybody noticed but ... the BZstats' data history covers a range of 5 years now!
Well, the current activity of BZFlag and the handfull of BZstats improvements within the last year aren't a real reason to end up in encomium or any other kind of extraordinary celebration. For those of you who read this message and want some stats: #players: 436,208 (by callsign) #servers: 8610 (by IP:port) #player sessions: 14,256,371 #storage in bytes: 2,576,934,195 Have fun playing this wonderful game! :o) View all news... |
