really nice. I'm trying to be speed cuber. currently around 40-50 secs for solving.

Did you defined ranking program? what is the default rank? is it going to be similar to chess (e.g 1000 for starters, 1800 for experiences, 2300 for masters etc) ? how are you going to measure it? would it be changed only when you do 1x1 games? or also self training impacts it?

also, how can you protect against trolls? everyone can fake it, you know.

I have implemented an ELO system, but it's just running in the background right now with no UI component. I'm collecting data for now to see how I'll need to tweak the various params that go into ELO calculation. I'm going to try to make it as close to chess as possible.

As for cheaters/trolls, I have a manual reporting system right now, but I'll do my best to start flagging accounts automatically. Pretty hard thing to solve given the nature of the issue.
