Frequently asked questions
What is BadgeWars?
BadgeWars is a site of dynamic SVG badges for your GitHub README or website. There are five badges, each with its own public leaderboard, and the image changes by itself when your position changes.
How do I add a badge to my GitHub README?
Sign in, open My badges and press “Copy embed code” on the badge you want. Pick the Markdown format and paste it into your README. You will not need to copy it again when the badge changes.
How much does a badge cost?
Browsing the site and the leaderboards is free. Badges are acquired with BadgeCredits (BC): from 1 BC for The Apex Flex up to 1,000 BC for Genesis Edition. 1 BC has a reference price of €1 before taxes and the minimum top-up is 5 BC.
What are BadgeCredits?
They are software credits used only inside BadgeWars. They have no value outside the platform, cannot be transferred and cannot be exchanged for money.
Does the badge update by itself?
Yes. The SVG is built from your current state, so it changes everywhere you embedded it. Because of caching, the change can take a few minutes to show.
Who handles payments?
Dodo Payments acts as the seller (Merchant of Record) for top-ups: it processes the payment and issues the invoices and receipts.
Can I change my public handle?
Yes, from My badges. After each change you have to wait 14 days before changing it again. Your links, levels and positions are kept.
