<StopD> ahh it should be possible to get a random anime in a range of votes...
<StopD> like !randomanime 4 10Well, this is anyway something for the "probably never"-list, just wanted to have it posted for completeness' sake ^^;

"Syntax error in !randomanime. Format: !randomanime all|[un]watched|db [minvote](-[maxvote]) [eps <|=|> x] [year <|=|> y]..."
One could go up to (and beyond) the functionality of the website's "advanced search"
Making the parameter "topX" does also discourage further requests for more complex filters, while "!randomanime x-y" almost calls for such. ^^;

Altho parsing that would probably quite a pita...

Well, it's true that programmers are lazy, but then again, the ultimate form of laziness is to spend ridiculous amounts of time writing a piece of code that can solve all problems one could run into with minimum modifications.wahaha wrote:That was actually one of the motivations for my alternate suggestion:

This problem here really *screams* for such a solution...How about replacing the !randomanime command with a generic !query command that accepts an SQL-like query statement as a parameter?
usage : !randomanime [(queryspec)[, (queryspec)[, (queryspec)]...]]
queryspec := fieldspec operator matchvalue
fieldspec := {"watched", "mylist", "rating", "year", "eps", "type", ...}
operator := {"<", ">", "="}
matchvalue := {number, SQL-style regexp, "true", "false", "tv", "ova", "movie"}
For example:
!randomanime type=ova, eps>3, eps<10, watched=false, rating>7, year>1998
!randomanime title="%Tenchi%", rating > 6
Even the Perl code that turns such a very strictly formulated query into SQL would be quite simple and easy to maintain, too...
Btw, please don't take this too serious. I'm in rambling mode again and just posting random ideas that are flying through my head.
"Play random next ep of any anime I didn't yet vote on" - that'd be ultimate lazyness ^^;PetriW wrote:I think I'll add a randomizer to AOM advanced search.

Somehow I think that someone has to fulfill this request first: http://www.anidb.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6
