Gamecenter leaderboards question about levels scores

POM

Hey guys ,
today im starting implanting gamecenter to my game "Spin The Nut"
You can check out this thread to learn more about my game :

So i started to study how big hits did their score system , but there is something i dont understand, take "Cut the rope" for example , if you look at the leaderboards the top scores are in millions and billions , how does this score system work? is it like every time you play the same levels you add to the sum of your current score for that world?

In "Spin The Nut" i have 4 worlds , each with 20 levels and a bonus level.
every level has a final score that combines from (star collected + how much time the level took)
the final score is an integer . (usually between 2000-8000) .

i want to have 4 leaderboards , each for every world , any advice on how to make it?

Thanks in advanced .

You would have variables for high score for every level.

Then, add the 20 variables together (for a world) to get the World's score.

If the world's score (say world 1) is greater than world1 highscore, then change it.

Does that make sense?

QS,
Yes ofcourse that make sence , but like I said , looking at cut the rope leaderboards you can see the values of the Highest ranks are billions for every world ,
Even though you get only about 4000 poins per level ,
Do you have an explanation on how this scoring system works?

Ok after making some googling i see that those scores are cheats made by kids , they are not real , so that explains a lot , i didnt knew that gamecenter leaderboards can be cheated ,
anyway , ill just do what quantumsheep said .
