Random.php

category: general [glöplog]
 
Ok, nice function, but what are the criteria for selecting prods from each category?

Are they TOTALLY random, or is it a random selection of, say, the 100 most popular prods from each category?
having used it regularly, i can say it's related to everything but popularity. (I can't say totally random after observing the same prod three or four times in a day though. this happened a few times.)
though i haven't used it for ages it seems
anes: considering i just added it yesterday i find it disturbing you been using it for several periods of time now.

nutman:
- hidden gem, anything with vote > 0.98
- unvoted, anything without votes
- types, foreach famous type random prod where type like '$type';

its more to help people discover totally new prods, not necessarily popular/well voted ones.

anes: instead of a random.php the "random" link on the bar used to simply point to prods.php which without any prodid argument would trigger a random prod to be shown, and to answer that question, yes it was completly random, non dependant on popularity or anything else.

Cool new feature. The old one sucked because it had to be clicked a gazillion times in order to find anything interesting.

You still can't search for a random demo for a certain platform. Fix it ;)

if i had implemented that the random.php would take 14 seconds to load instead of 7. im thinking adding a type[] and platform[] thing though..
