File Ratings Added to Directories
Posted by Michael on 16 October 2004, 00:26 GMT
You may have noticed that all directories in our file archives now contain a column titled "Rating." For each file, there is a graphical indicator of that file's rating. The number of illuminated bars directly corresponds to the file's numerical rating, rounded to the nearest integer. The bars are color-coded to help you easily ascertain ratings at a glance. You can also click on the column heading to view the files in a directory sorted descending by rating. For an example, look at TI-83 Plus Assembly Games (Ion). Feel free to ooh and aah but most importantly, rate files!
Update: Apparently a few people are raising an issue that only the top screenful or so of files in the example directory have been rated. This is because the link is to the directory sorted by rating. Let's read articles more carefully, please.

Perhaps a page could be made that displays the top ten file raters. Rating Statistics:
Top 10 Rating The Most Files
Top 10 Rating The Most Files With A High Score
Top 10 Rating The Most Files With A Low Score
This could even fit in underneath the rated files page.
Now, this could be abused. If it was made it would be left entirely into the trusting hands of the ticalc community. ;-)

this is a great idea, especially for all of the Ti83+ math programs. to think that i had to download and try out (and edit the good ones) just about every math program in order to get a perfect array of math programs when it's so much easier to find the highest rating math program that you're looking for.
there's an issue that might arise later when many of the programs become rated:
What happens when you know what file you're looking for, but you don't know where in the page it is? The page is no longer alphabetized. Doing a control-F is tedious and most people don't do it.

I am so glad that the PSAT/NMSQT allows TI-89s. I owned the math sections today :)
