Random game choices

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could click on a randomise button on the ratings screen and it swaps out all the choices?

And blacklist/whitelist popular tags, so you can say you aren’t interested in those that have “windows” (and “source”), but are interested in those that have “web”… and so the ratings screen will be full of games you actually stand an outside chance of playing…

I expect this has all been said a thousand times before…

We need a mod-ludum-dare-itself mini weekend

(And thanks to everyone who has rated my game, what a great turnout yet again for LD

   It does randomise per user, but I think it remembers your seed so you always get the same shuffle. The system is rigged to spread the voting as randomly as possible, and also reward frequent voters with votes. Seems to be working quite well now IMHO!

     It doesn’t randomise, it lists games based on their ‘default’ ranking, which is a number calculated from the amount of ratings the game has and the ratings the developer has made to other games, rewarding people who rate more games. You can also list by least ratings and most ‘coolness’ which is the amount of games the developer has rated.
