Github High Scores is a fun way to rank Github repository contributors in a 8-bit, 80's-tastic viewing environment.
This is a Ruby Sinatra app, so you'll need to know some Ruby-Fu to get it working locally.
git clone git://github.com/leereilly/github-high-scores.git
bundle install
ruby app.rb
Fork + pull.
