Evaluate Starting Order of Installed Decks #65

Closed lucasrowe closed 11 years ago

lucasrowe commented 12 years ago

We have two scenarios to consider in terms of initial shuffling.

  1. Currently anyone who buys the apps will get the same first set of words, shuffled differently. It'd be nice to have a random date or something to start so that users don't all have the exact same words if a friend of theirs also installs.
  2. Also consider users who already own the app and have already seen all the cards. Maybe they'll want new decks to come in front of existing words? Does it make a difference? Will it hurt new users? I don't know its 5 am and I can't think atm.

This work is done. Random year is used when inserting new cards. As for number 2 the date only affects the order of the cards chosen from each pack (to make up the whole set of cards that is later .shuffled()), so it isn't going to affect the final shuffle process.
