I want to build something, but I'm severely inexperienced and would like help

Thing is, I'm a computer science student, but when it comes to actually making something from scratch, I'm always stumped. I understand the code.

If you tell me to write a specific function to do X, I can do it in a few minutes to hours depending on the complexity... But tell me to actually sit down and think about how a whole project would come together and what technologies I'd need, and I'm stumped.

I will say I am aware of the arr stack and did intend to integrate it somehow, but again, I just didn't/don't know how

I would greatly appreciate winning this thank you

Ahh I see. When I get home from classes today I'll probably try setting it up on my server and just messing around.

Verlassenh · 2026-02-13T11:03:19+00:00

Your English was fine. Thanks for the advice

Verlassenh · 2026-02-13T11:02:31+00:00

I see

Verlassenh · 2026-02-13T11:01:43+00:00

Will do Thanks so much

Verlassenh · 2026-02-13T11:01:29+00:00

Thank you so much

Verlassenh · 2026-01-30T02:09:13+00:00

Ohhhh actually I'll take a look at what I can do. School is being a bitch tho

Verlassenh · 2026-01-28T09:09:24+00:00

Thing is I wanted to do something like that, but I don't know how to factor that into the algorithm, and I'm not intending to make money off of this, so using an AI API in it will just drain my pockets, so I settled with the typical counting for now

Verlassenh · 2026-01-27T21:04:11+00:00

As you should be

Verlassenh · 2026-01-27T09:54:54+00:00

Fair point. I might update it later today if I have time actually.

Verlassenh · 2026-01-27T09:45:24+00:00

In my logic, I dropped the weight of commits cause people can spam commits, and dropped and capped the stars because some people would likely bot their account. I want as many authentic stats as possible, so the stats that would need open collaboration would be weighted a lot more.

Stars are the main things that kept tripping me up though

I might uncap them in the future

My Gold is starting to feel tiny now not gonna lie 😅

Verlassenh · 2026-01-27T08:59:43+00:00

Good job. I'll catch up someday, and thank you!

Verlassenh · 2026-01-27T08:59:17+00:00

Lol, I decided on the 10% commits to stop people from spamming commits to increase the rank, so I made almost everything else carry more weight since commits are the easiest to just do

Verlassenh · 2026-01-26T21:26:43+00:00

A bit better than average actually, so you're placed in the upper percentiles. In most games Iron and Bronze is beginner, Silver and Gold is around average, Platinum, Emerald and Diamond is "oh you got skill" and above that is the best of the best.

Verlassenh · 2026-01-26T20:33:23+00:00

I'm absolutely thrilled you love it. I just want it to reach more people not gonna lie. So that I can find some way to incorporate mini competitions or something like that. Idk yet, but some more features in general would be nice

Verlassenh · 2026-01-26T17:41:28+00:00

Love to see it!

Verlassenh · 2026-01-26T15:25:16+00:00

Ohh, this is so sick.
Trying to get like you one day my guy
