This update adds the ability to share your accomplishments with the press of a button! iScored now generates a flashy
score image and a special gameroom link that you can share on Bluesky, Facebook, Discord, or any other social media site. This special URL
tells those sites to use your score image as the preview image (and automatically scrolls to your score when loaded).

Other improvements rolled out since the last update include:
Added an option to disable the scrolling that occurs when the mouse pointer is near the left or right edge of the screen.
Added an option (for European users) to show periods for the thousands separator, and commas for decimals.
Public Mode Shortcut URLs (i.e. https://www.iScored.info/YourUserName ) are now bookmarkable - they no longer redirect to the root directory.
Improved user interface for mobile devices.
Implemented numerous performance optimizations.
Improved phone support for very large gamerooms.
Broke and then fixed time-based scoring. You're welcome!
Fixed a bug that could sometimes cause custom fonts to not load properly.
Fixed a bug where the game preview was overflowing out of the "Add New Game" dialog.
Fixed a bug where the "Download Scores" nav menu item was erroneously showing up on screens other than the main gameroom.
Improved game preview pane functionality.
One last functional change: The iScored gameroom will now automatically reload itself if it's left running for more than 24 hours.
This allows locations who leave iScored running 24/7 (and according to my logs, that's a LOT of you!) to still receive the latest code
updates.
Here is a typical iScored game room (this one is for the current
high scores for the Monday Night League at CarPool Bar in
Arlington, Virginia -- stop by some time!)
This gameroom is operating in "Public Mode", meaning you can
view scores, and you can tap on names to see a list of all the high
scores for that person, but you cannot enter new scores or modify
existing ones.
The screen automatically scrolls side to side if you don't do
anything for a few seconds.
You can make it full-screen by hitting F11 on a Mac or PC (or
using the fullscreen button on your browser). By the way, there are
easy ways to launch it in fullscreen mode automatically, and it's
designed to be touchscreen-compatible, if you're thinking of
setting it up as a kiosk in your game room.
