Small suggestion on "Top 30 Anime" Link

Postby dwchang » Thu Mar 20, 2003 12:34 pm

I've noticed a few shows have multiple entries like "Escaflowne" and "Vision of Escaflowne" or "Evangelion" vs. "Neon Genesis Evangelion" vs. "End of Evangelion" and so on. Is there a way to possibly consolidate all the votes into one show. I guess this is such a *minor* thing and doesn't really bug me, but well...this forum is for suggestions :). The only reasonable way I could see you doing this is with a conditional like

function_blah (int Eva) {
If (anime = "evangelion") then
Eva++;
elsif (anime = "neon genesis evangelion" the
Eva++;
.
.
and so on.
}

It's probably not worth it, but it would give a better indication on some of the shows ranks...although I'm fairly sure most would remain unchanged (i.e. Eva = #1).

Argh! Because I know someone will say something, obviously there is a ) at the end and the = then. I know this wouldn't compile...it's pseudo-code so :-P.

BTW the only shows I can think of with multiple instances (that are fairly popular) are Rurouni Kenshin (Kenshin, Rurouni Kenshin, Samurai X (ugh!)), Escaflowne (The Vision of Escaflowne, Vision of Escaflowne, Escaflowne) and Evangelion (Evangelion, Neon Genesis Evangelion, too many). I guess the only reason I know those are b/c they're my favorite shows and I put some variation of their names in my top 10 anime :).

Hey,

A system to handle alternate anime titles for the same anime is in the works. It will be done when I get around to it. Problem is that I don't have much time at all. The programmers group was set up to help, but we can't do anything until there is an adequate change tracking system (yes, CVS is inadequate).

Cool, I should've never doubted you Phade :-P. I understand the time thing, hell I hardly have time to edit. What is CVS? I am an intermediate programmer, but...well..just that interemediate. Give me something in Assembly though and that's a different story :).

You need help! You need to take people on! Don't you think?

Cool, open-sourced development. So I take it some of the guts of a-m-v.org is coded in this? If I had the time and massive interest in CS, I'd give it a gander. Too bad I'm hardware all the way :). The only code I like is beautiful protected-mode assembly :)..oh and verilog/VHDL (but that's just hardware descriptor langauges).

No. CVS is inadequate for what the site needs.

Oops! You said that earlier yesterday :(. I'm at work and thus my mind is shot...wait I'm always like this :(.

Just out of curiosity, what is the majority of the org coded in? I take it different things for everything, but is there any core foundation that everything connects to? I guess this'll be fairly technical.

Actually, CVS is only a versioning tool, used for keeping track of different versions of files (usually code). So like if you had multiple programmers working on files, you'd use CVS to keep things sorted out so they didn't overwrite each other's changes and stuff.

I think most of the site is coded in PHP.

Hey,

The site is coded in PHP with a MySQL database. I have written from scratch all sections of the site except for the forum.

I guess that makes sense given some of the links with .php right? :) Still though all from scratch is quite impressive for someone who probably has a full-time job. Not that I didn't appreciate the org to begin with, but wow! Thanks a lot! If you ever need any verilog or computer arch. stuff...I'm your man...too bad you probably never will and it has no relevance to the community (well unless you're gonna design a uProcessor for AMV editing or something) :).
