Work in progress
Java implementation of the Elo Ranking System for table tennis players.
Project has a dual purpose; to practice Java concepts and to decide once and for all who the best table tennis player in my class is.
I plan to record results of games played at CodeClan and use the program to decide the seeding for a knockout tournament.
- Players can be added to a playerPool, sorting this playerPool by player rating produces the ranking order.
- A game takes in 2 players and their respective scores.
- The ranking calculator takes in a game and uses the Elo formula to decide new ratings based on the score and original player ratings before the game.
- Once calculated, the player ratings are updated.
- The runner file simulates 1000 games to show the progression of the rating system.
- The playerPool can be logged out as a table to facilitate easy viewing (see below).
Develop and an Android user interface which shows current player rankings and allows logging of new game results.
