A better leaderboard for Final Assault

It's faster, javascript-free and framework-free, and it has more features!

Features

• Link to your name in the leaderboard to show off your rank (Example: http://gnuman.games/finalassault/leaderboard#Gnuman)
• Colorful Icons!
• Links to steam, twitch, youtube to see profiles vids. Check out top players' content to improve your game
• Fixes some unicode player names that are corrupted in the source data (PhaserLock Interactive is using the wrong encoding somewhere)
• Super fast and lightweight

Why?

The official leaderboard at https://phasermm.com runs on AngularJS and has a lot of extra javascript code. It used to take about 10+ seconds to render the page. Their site is a bit better now, though.

If you like to compete, you'll probably want to refresh the page often and see results immediately. That's what this project is for =)

Potential future improvements

• Allow players to upload their own links (need a way to verify they are who they say they are. Does steam have OAuth?)
• Link to Oculus/Vive profiles somehow? If they even have a profile system?

Stuff I wish PhaserLock would add

• Steam player ID, so I could automatically link to steam profiles
• Fix the text encoding, so I don't have to correct unicode player names
• More APIs, like active PvP battles, recent battle outcomes, players in PvP queue, etc.
