| HoloDust said: I haven't ranked my favourite games in ages - it is lengthy process, I use Pub Meeple ranking engine, which is best for boardgames, since it can draw data directly from your BoardGameGeek account, but it can be used for anything with custom list - it is "choose one from two items" process, and then it goes on like that for quite a while comparing items from your list, until it finally, after lot of iterations, makes a list - the more items you have, the lengthier the process. |
Comparing two random items and building a list from these comparisons? Hmm, that is exactly what I do. Only that I wrote the program that does this myself. Thing is though, I save in a Postgres-DB and it is a command line program, so that is not very accessible for everyone:
As you can see I type 1 for the left item and two for the one on the right, I would type 3 for a draw. For the list I add the positive votes and subtract the negative and divide it with the number of total votes (including the draws) for that item + 1. So it goes from +100% to -100%, although both ends it can never reach.
I think I could change it to use SQLite, so it saves into a file instead of a DB-Server and make a graphical UI. Uhm, I also have to include an interface to add items, as currently I just add them directly in the DB, as I can SQL. The upside for me is, that now over some years with the greatest game event, I only ever have to add new games and make some rating, as I keep the DB with the items and the previous ratings. I don't start over each time. So, would there be interest in something like that? And also I am not sure how fast I can do that, probably need vacation to concentrate on the project and not being distracted by work.
