I know one of the big concerns lately is the progress of the AGAGD.

Good News Everybody!


The AGAGD has made some great progress and we have a basic framework to work with. It has basic features and will be enhanced through your help and support. We have made the code public on our github page (https://github.com/usgo/agagd). Should you have the programming prowess to help us with this we can make it even better. We have started to make some requests for future features before we fully deploy this to the website. We will also be testing this on a private server to show changes and do experiments. As soon as we have more information to send out we will.

Hey all,

Maintainer of the new AGAGD here, a few more details. I've only put a few hours into the project so far, but I thought it'd be useful to let people know what the plan is.

Right now, what needs to happen before I can put it up on the website is

1. A few more player details on the "player detail" page
2. A "find player" page
3. A "view tournament" page
4. A way to see all games between X & Y
5. Some cleaned up tables that make it easier to see who won/who lost.
6. I need to figure out a deployment process to get this working on the actual AGA server.

Also, a few "nice-to-haves" that'll make developing much easier would be:
1. A set of sanitized test data fixtures, so devs can start working quicker ;)
2. Some unit tests :oops:
3. Any design ideas / nicer CSS. CSS & I are so not friends. :D

And I'm happy to accept any pull requests! Fork away! :D

i'd like to take this opportunity to point out that the first hit on xed_over's search says that the AGAGD is still disabled.

and has been so for most of the 3 years since its introduction.

what I've never been able to understand (as a casual observer) is why the European Game Database (that this is based on) doesn't have the same security issue -- or does it?

edit -- vash3g and seigenblues announcement isn't that the database is back up, but that it now is back in active development -- good news indeed.

For the record, it says this:

AGAGD Disabled

We're sorry, the AGAGD had to be disabled for the time being. We hope to bring it back in the future.


And the casual go player still does not know what the subject of the thread is - until JTS tells him.

Great to hear progress is being made - AGAGD was an incredibly useful addition to the ratings database. My understanding was that it was taken down after a security audit of some kind due to security holes. If that is correct, then I'd say the top priority should be simply to fix those and get it back online. Once there, I'm sure there are many ways to make it better, but just getting it back to where it was is of huge value.

Unfortunately, it was hard to ascertain the nature & extent of the security holes because of a shortage of PHP-security gurus who also spoke Italian, so just "closing the holes" was not a trivial thing to do.

Anyway, it'll be up pretty quick, I hope :) Just a few weekends of work...

Hey folks!

I've got a basic version of the AGAGD running. If you'd like to test it out, suggest feature enhancements, let me know about bugs, or just want to see your game history with the AGAGD, please go to http://test.agagd.usgo.org/

What currently works:
- view recent tournaments, including the recreated wall list.
- view player cards, which includes...
- a graph of rating +/- sigma for as far back as we have data
- a list of games
- a breakdown of frequently played opponents and your winrate.

What's currently planned:
- working list of games that have game records.
- better recreation of tournament lists
- gallery/upload of player portraits
- rank statistics for the whole corpus
- ...etc!

If you find any bugs, please make a note of them at http://github.com/usgo/agagd/issues.

And yes, it's ugly :) Any design/css help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
andrew

Actually, I wouldn't call it ugly at all, it's clean, minimalist, exactly what I need and no frills, looks great! Love the look of the rank graphs

As far as recommendations, on the list of recently played games, it's not always easy to see which was the winning player, there's a column for which color won, but the eye can lose focus, looking back and forth, maybe just also put the winning player's name in bold type?

Post subject:  Re: AGAGD comes to everyone
Great work!! I agree that the design is nice and simple.

A few functional issues:

"search for player" goes to a list of players with no search option. Result is ordered by Descending ID.

"Next" on "/player/" page doesn't work (just goes to same page). It would be nice to have page control links in addition to "Next" (i.e. First...5 6 7...Last Next"

Ideas
-----

Unless there's a db load issue that makes the front page "Last 180 Games" display more efficient, why not just rename it to "Most Recent Games" and unlimit the date range? It already has page controls to limit the results.

Put a search box next to the "Recent Tournaments" title to allow searching by name or (beginning) date (auto detect search type). Textbox internal text: "Title or yyyy/mm/dd".

Put the "Search for Player" search box next to the "Recent Games" and allow search by name, id, or (beginning) date (auto detect search type).

(internally, either execute a combined query or decide on the query based on whether it's a number or not or date formatted, be sure to specify mm/dd/yyyy, yyyy/mm/dd, or preferred date format in the label or disappearing internal text "Search Name, ID, or yyyy/mm/dd").

If a page control is selected, dispense with the other table. I.e. if "Next" on game list is selected, don't bother displaying any tournament results, and if "Next" on tournament list is selected, don't bother displaying any specific game results.

Yeah, following the table row can be a bit difficult at times. Rather than bolding some element or another (am I the only one that occasionally has trouble seeing bold?), my favorite solution is to highlight the row when you hover over it. It also happens to be ridiculously simple to implement in CSS, and will help for tracking any other info that might be in the row.

Wow this is great progress! Love the historical rank graph.

One thing the previous version had was tournament cross-tabs. Is that coming back? It was nice to be able to browse tournament results and then click on individual players.

Keep up the great work!

Oh I see the tournament crosstabs, nice. I see how you can go from tournament to player, but don't see a way to jump back from player to tournament which would be nice too.
