Inspired by Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg's FaceMash; based on an Elo rating algorithm on the window of a Havard dorm. Angular 8, Material, RxJS, PHP API, MySQL DB, Algorithm

Hottest MP

This project was generated with Angular CLI version 8.1.1. Material, RxJS, PHP API, MySQL DB, Algorithm. (Uses my crude MP data API for back-end: obviously wouldn't use such a simple setup for any real-life production: https://github.com/k1n4kut4/analytica_api.)

I was intrigued by the scene in the movie Social Network in which Eduardo Saverin, then a friend of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, writes an Elo rating algorithm on the window of a Havard dorm.

Inspiration

Zuckerberg created FaceMash. The website was set up as a type of "hot or not" game for Harvard students, which placed two pictures side-by-side and thus let the user decide who was hot or not.

Therefore, I decided to implement this algorithm.

The algorithm in the film is actually incorrect - it should be:
Ea = 1/(1+10((Rb-Ra)/400))
Eb = 1/(1+10((Ra-Rb)/400))

For ethical reasons, I didn't want to copy Zuckerberg's choice of subject - he uploaded photos of fellow students. Instead, I have used photos of popular swimwear/lingerie models - the repo BabeMash. https://github.com/k1n4kut4/babemash

Here is my ealier JavaScript code for FaceMash: https://github.com/k1n4kut4/facesmash

Development server

Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Code scaffolding

Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive|pipe|service|class|guard|interface|enum|module.

Build

Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the --prod flag for a production build.

Running unit tests

Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma.

Running end-to-end tests

Run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor.
