🖥️ Making The BEST Would You Rather App

This is the BEST Would You Rather Game guaranteed, why? Because I wrote the app myself & tested it on strangers! You trust me right!? :D

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS FEED YOUR CURIOSITY

Hey quick note on the procedural math. Turns out its actually the correct exponential function is f(x) = (x * (x-1))/2 because if the position of the scenarios are flipped, it doesn't change the value of the Situation. Sorry about that! Still exponential, but at half the rate. 🤓

I love how he said that there was a minimalistic chance that it would repeat itself, but when he showed the interface it repeated at 5:26 and 5:32 with the same two options, good work though.

I would totally download that app! Make it on Unity!!

I know you're doing Pencils-Down and I think that's a good call but if you wanted to revisit this one thing that might be interesting is to generate a list of scenarios without worrying about balance and then use user selection data to teach your game how desirable the different options are so that, over time, it learns what the most interesting options are on its own. You wouldn't have to do a real deep-learning thing for that or anything, just like an ELO system of some sort that gave each scenario a dynamic desirability score and changed those scores whenever one option lost to the other and prioritizing situations with scenarios of roughly equivalent desirability. (Although you'd probably always want some possibility of random matchups in order to avoid getting stuck in weird local-maximum scenarios.) That'd also let you add more scenarios later, which could then filter through the ELO system of known-desirability scenarios and quickly figure out roughly where they belong too.

I think you misunderstood exponential functions and polynomial functions.
Exponential functions have base as a constant and the input as the exponent like 2^x.
What you are describing as exponential function (x*(x-1)) is actually a polynomial function. And with degree 2 like that, it's specifically called a quadratic function.

Bro I love your videos and science stuff! I want the best WYR app.

I love xamarin I have studied at xamarin university for two years. I was watching the video and saw the use of visual studios and looked at the fact that it was a mobile app and I thought “maybe he’s using xamarin” and then he was using xamarin! Xamarin development is the best. Thanks for making this video though. Making an app and then going out into the world and recording how people respond is great. I’ve done that to but I didn’t record it with my nfc card game I have made. That have you ever Game was really good idea cause I can see how it could be a mid term or final project in a class. Really good stuff. Very inspirational as usual. Keep up the good work!

Discovered your channel last night. LOVE your vibe, content, musings, style, storytelling, thought process, and snack eating. YouTube gold. Big fan. Keep it up.

That's the best programming Chanel I ever see

[lucidmoses]

Ok, Here is an idea. Take the ones you hand crafted and give them a 50% on the choice between the two options. add a bunch of single scenarios. Then have the software randomly pick combinations that have a close to 50% choice between them. And, for every 1 in 10 have the software just randomly pick two scenarios. after a while it will weed out the bad combinations as they will not close to 50-50. repeat the process and you will get a good set of combinations that are close to 50 50. including ones you could not think of because they are not related in any way but it's hard to chose between.

Why not make a ranking system?
Questions what get denied often get mixxed against each other?
Then after a while your system will make "hard" questions on its own

[Socratica]

This is one of our favourite games to play when waiting for anything... Brain high five!!

[imnotselma]

That was some of the best would you rather situations I have ever heard

[jaxonbmx]

easily my favorite developer videos on yt

[conorlooney]

I love these types pf videos! Walking through the process of why to how to fixing problems, its great!

[llililillilliilli]

I really like how much work you put into creating those scenarios. it's not just like the "would you rather high five spongebob or patrick?", what really isn't any fun.
The only thing I would really like is like a percentage of how many people picked scenario a or scenario b.
I know that the video is kinda "old" but I still feel like giving feedback. great work my dude.

dude your humour is on point and the topics you cover are always interesting
love the videos!

[braddavids]

I love your videos SO MUCH man I recently got really into coding and I've tried it before but this time I'm more driven to learn and create, I'm learning python at the moment. Your videos where you create things and have fun with programming is so awesome and entertaining and it motivates me to want to learn more so that maybe I will be able to create my own apps. All your videos in general are really awesome man, keep doing you bro.

And not a single person commented about the blunts behind Dave's ears. Good job guys, we're responsible adults now :-)

Regarding the negative situations being more interresting to converse aobut rather than having to pick between a free house and a free car makes sense when you look at it this way: Everyone knows what is the "gooder goood" (to simplify) but picking a lesser of two evils is not always as easy. For instance if you had "Constantly feel like you're about to sneeze" vs "hiccuping every 15 min" Someone would prefer sneezing, but I would prefer hiccups because when I sneeze oh boy my head just whoosh and I'm really loud so funerals would be VERY awkward. In any case. We as humans can easily decide between "gettign a free apple" and "getting a free basket of strawberries" most people (like 90%) would rather take a WHOLE basket of free berries rather than just 1 fruit.
