[NEATO] Graph your points! Hey everyone! One of my favorite past time is data mining (don't ask why... I just like graphs...)
So I was interested in seeing how my points have accumulated as I solve each card. I took advantage of one of the many RSS feeds that PXC provides and was able to create a pretty graph to look at in real-time.
Now I have made this script available for all who want to lookup the progress of any player! Head on over to:
Plop in your name (or anyone else's) and see what their graph looks like. I especially like to see the pattern in which people solve their cards. If nothing else check out the top few leaders... very cool graphs...
Ok, hope this is useful and/or cool for some people. Spread the link around if ya like! If the site doesn't respond, try back later... I dunno how much traffic my computer can handle at once!
<edit> Please let me know if there are other things you think would be cool to add to the page.. I'd love to hear suggestions.. </edit>

I've added a (very) simple timeline at the bottom of the graph...
However, if you hover over the bars of the graph, an 'alt text' box will pop up with the card number, points, and date of solve... I'm working on getting the date information a tad more informative...

Sorry, I added the "title" tag which works for Firefox... I just updated with the "alt" tag so now it should work with other browsers...

Purple: 10.000 & Black:13.000, if I'm not mistaken...
Nice work, though, Jazzy...those really are neat looking graphs!

Ok.. I added leitmark lines for red-black... from what I could find purple came at 10,000 and black at 13,000... is that right?
The lines should work in Firefox and IE... dunno bout other browsers..

very nice work. I like the visuals of the bars showing the color of the solved card and the cumulative progression

Good work jazzy - I'm impressed (although it has to be said that it doesn't take much to impress me...! )

Yeah, very impressive! You could add vertical lines for wave releases, but I'm not sure how that would look.
