[[File:Leaderboard-Merger-hardware.jpeg|200px|thumb|right|Leaderboard Merger hardware kit]]

* Electronics unit
* USB-C power supply
* Service keyboard
* HDMI cable

== Requirements ==
Before setup, prepare:

* A display device of your choice (monitor, TV, projector, CCTV system, or any HDMI input device)
* WiFi credentials for network with Internet access (for Scenario 1)
* Machine serial numbers (for Scenario 1)
** Each serial number (S/N) has 16 characters
** You can find it in the operator menu of each machine (bottom-right corner)

== Hardware installation ==
Follow these steps:

# Connect the HDMI cable to the display
# Connect the service keyboard
# Connect the power supply (USB-C)
# Wait for the system to boot

== Preparing Boxers ==
* In scenario 1, you will need to provide serial numbers from boxers that you want to link with the Leaderboard Merger.
* For better user experience, you can label each boxer with a location name. This label will be used on Leaderboard Merger next to displayed scores.

= Linking Scenarios =

Depending on your needs and infrastructure, pick one of the connection and linking scenarios.

== Scenario 1: Online connection ==
Use this setup when machines are in different locations.

All devices must have internet access.
Each machine automatically sends data to the cloud server.
Leaderboard Merger downloads and combines selected data.

=== Steps ===
# Press '''5''' on the service keyboard to open the operator menu
# Go to '''WiFi''' section
# Select your WiFi network and connect
# Go to '''Network → Highscores Server'''
# Set it to '''global'''
# Go to '''Serials → Add machine serial number'''
# Enter serial numbers of every machine that you want to include
# Go to '''Exit'''
# Wait couple seconds for data to be downloaded

== Scenario 2: Local network connection ==
Use this setup when all devices are in the same LAN.

This method is faster and does not require internet access.
Leaderboard Merger collects data directly from machines.

=== Steps ===
# Press '''5''' on the service keyboard to open the operator menu
# Go to '''WiFi''' section
# Select your WiFi network and connect
# Go to '''Network → Highscores Server'''
# Set it to '''local'''
# Go to '''Network → Local Access Point'''
# Set it to '''inactive'''
# Go to '''Exit'''
# Wait couple seconds for data to be downloaded

=== Notes ===

* Machines need to be in the same WiFi / WLAN
* Machines automatically detect the Merger and send data
* No need to enter serial numbers
* No need to change settings on machines

== Scenario 3: Local Access Point (no WiFi available) ==
Use this setup when there is no WiFi network available.

Leaderboard Merger creates its own WiFi Access Point.
Nearby machines must connect to it.

=== Steps (Leaderboard Merger) ===
# Press '''5''' on the service keyboard to open the operator menu
# Go to '''WiFi''' section
# (Skip connection if no network is available)
# Go to '''Network → Highscores Server'''
# Set it to '''local'''
# Go to '''Network → Local Access Point'''
# Set it to '''active'''
# Wait a few seconds

=== Result ===
* A new WiFi network appears:
** '''Leaderboard-AP-1000xxxxxxxxxxxx'''
* A password is displayed on screen

# Write down the password
# Go to '''Exit'''

=== Steps (each machine) ===
Repeat on every Boxer Machine:

# Press '''5''' on the service keyboard to open the operator menu
# Go to '''WiFi''' section
# Find the '''Leaderboard-AP-1000xxxxxxxxxxxx''' network
# Connect using the displayed password
# Go to '''Exit'''

=== Notes ===
* Leaderboard Merger becomes the Access Point for nearby boxer machines
* Once connected with this Access Point, machines will not have internet access
* Machines automatically detect the Merger and send data
* No need to enter serial numbers
* No need to change settings on machines

Leaderboard Merger

2025-12-16T12:46:38Z

Matt: /* Configuration file */

Leaderboard Merger is a standalone hardware device responsible for collecting leaderboard data from a defined set of arcade machines, merging those results into a single ranking, and presenting the combined leaderboard on its own display.

The device operates independently from the arcade machines and periodically synchronizes data according to the selected connection scenario.

== Connection Scenarios ==

Leaderboard Merger supports two operating modes:

* Local
* Global

Each scenario defines how the device communicates with arcade machines, how the data is obtained, and how frequently the leaderboard is refreshed.

=== Local Scenario ===

In the local scenario, the Leaderboard Merger and all arcade machines must be connected to the same local wireless network (WLAN).

Key characteristics:

* No internet connection is required.
* All devices must be in the same WLAN.
* Data refresh interval is '''5 seconds'''.
* This mode is recommended for on‑site installations such as arcades, bars, or live events.

Typical use cases:

* Single venue installations
* Event-based setups
* Temporary locations without internet access

=== Global Scenario ===

In the global scenario, the Leaderboard Merger and arcade machines communicate over the internet.

In this mode, the Leaderboard Merger requires a configuration file containing a list of machine serial numbers. Only machines listed in this file will be queried for leaderboard data. This allows precise control over which machines participate in the merged leaderboard (for example: machines belonging to a specific venue, region, or event).

Key characteristics:

* Each device connects to an internet‑enabled WLAN
* Devices do not need to be on the same local network
* Data is retrieved via a remote server
* Configuration file with machine serial numbers is required
* Data refresh interval is '''60 seconds'''
* This mode is suitable for aggregating leaderboards from geographically distributed locations

Typical use cases:

* Chain locations
* Distributed tournaments
* Global or regional rankings

== Settings ==

=== Configuration file ===

Notice: As of 2025-12-16, the configuration file can only be created and deployed by the producer. Operator-side configuration tools are still under development.

File <code>Data/serials.json</code> is required for operation in the Global scenario. It defines the list of arcade machine serial numbers whose leaderboard data will be collected and merged.

Example content of the file:

{
"_version": 1,
"serials": [
"1111222233334444",
"5555666677778888"
]
}

=== Access Point Mode ===

If no existing WLAN is available at the location, the Leaderboard Merger can be configured to create its own wireless access point.

In this setup:

* Leaderboard Merger acts as the Wi‑Fi access point
* Arcade machines connect directly to this network
* No external network infrastructure is required

In the local scenario, the Leaderboard Merger and all arcade machines must be connected to the same local wireless network (WLAN).

Key characteristics:

* No internet connection is required.
* All devices must be in the same WLAN.
* Data refresh interval is **5 seconds**.
* This mode is recommended for on‑site installations such as arcades, bars, or live events.

Typical use cases:

* Single venue installations
* Event-based setups
* Temporary locations without internet access

==== Access Point Mode ====

If no existing WLAN is available at the location, the Leaderboard Merger can be configured to create its own wireless access point.

In this setup:

* Leaderboard Merger acts as the Wi‑Fi access point
* Arcade machines connect directly to this network
* No external network infrastructure is required

=== Global Scenario ===

In the global scenario, the Leaderboard Merger and arcade machines communicate over the internet.

In this mode, the Leaderboard Merger requires a configuration file containing a list of machine serial numbers. Only machines listed in this file will be queried for leaderboard data. This allows precise control over which machines participate in the merged leaderboard (for example: machines belonging to a specific venue, region, or event).

Key characteristics:

* Each device connects to an internet‑enabled WLAN
* Devices do not need to be on the same local network
* Data is retrieved via a remote server
* Configuration file with machine serial numbers is required
* Data refresh interval is **60 seconds**
* This mode is suitable for aggregating leaderboards from geographically distributed locations

Typical use cases:

* Chain locations
* Distributed tournaments
* Global or regional rankings

Rewards and Reward Strategies

2025-12-16T08:25:35Z

Matt:

This article describes the reward mechanisms used in SlimLukeGames products and the strategies behind their design. Rewards are a core element of player engagement, motivation, and retention.

The concepts described here apply across multiple products and game modes, and may be adapted depending on local regulations, operator preferences, and product configuration.

== Reward Types ==

In SlimLukeGames systems, rewards are not limited to physical items.

Typical reward types include:
* Tickets - virtual or physical ticket equivalents used for redemption systems
* Coins - real currency
* Tokens - non-monetary units used for progression or access
* Coupons - discount or promotional vouchers
* Credits - playable credits
* Other prizes - operator-defined rewards

== Reward Strategies ==

SlimLukeGames products support multiple reward strategies that define how and when rewards are granted.

=== Classic ===

The Classic strategy uses a fixed conversion between score and rewards.

Rewards are calculated using a simple points-to-reward ratio, with an optional guaranteed minimum payout.

Characteristics:

* Simple and transparent
* Familiar arcade-style behavior
* Predictable reward scaling

=== Fixed ===

The Fixed strategy grants a predefined number of rewards for each game, regardless of the achieved score.

Characteristics:

* Fully predictable payouts
* Independent of player skill
* Useful for promotions, testing, or training scenarios

=== Direct ===

The Direct strategy places rewards directly within the game environment, allowing the player to collect them during gameplay.

Collecting rewards is optional and independent of the final score.

Notes:

* A player may achieve a high score while collecting few rewards

* Encourages exploration and decision-making

Characteristics:

* Decouples score from rewards

* Adds an additional gameplay layer

* Increases variability between plays

=== Thresholds ===

The Threshold strategy awards for reaching predefined score milestones.

Each threshold grants a specific number of tickets. Rewards from all achieved thresholds are cumulative.

Example:

* Threshold 1 reached → tickets from threshold 1 awarded
* Threshold 2 reached → tickets from threshold 1 + 2 awarded
* Threshold 3 reached → tickets from threshold 1 + 2 + 3 awarded

Characteristics:

* Strong motivation to reach higher milestones
* Clear performance goals
* Encourages skill improvement

=== Smart ===

The Smart strategy dynamically adjusts reward calculation based on historical game data.

It combines elements of the Fixed and Classic strategies to maintain a target average payout while preserving performance-based rewards.

Operation principle:

* The system calculates the average score from previous games
* Based on this average, it automatically adjusts the points-to-reward ratio
* Future games are rewarded in a way that converges toward a desired average payout

Key properties:

* Each game influences future reward calculations
* The system adapts over time to player behavior
* Maintains controlled ticket output without removing skill influence

Characteristics:

* Self-balancing reward economy
* Suitable for long-term deployments

== Regulatory and Operational Considerations ==

Depending on the region and deployment context:

* Physical prizes may be restricted or regulated
* Ticket-based systems may be undesirable or obsolete
* Digital-only rewards can simplify compliance
