Description:

Decider is a program written in Xcode objective-c that is an enhanced random selector. Ever faced with a difficult decision where all the choices are equal and what you decide should not and does not really make a difference? Enter in your savior program Decider. Decider will take your choices and chose which one you should go with when you can not make up your mind.


Example:

Where should you eat tonight? Burger King? McDonalds? Both offer about the same quality food, food selection, and if both are equal distances away this could be a difficult decision. Just enter into Decider's table of choices "Burger King" and "McDonalds" and click the decide button. Decider will automatically make a decision for you and give you the answer. You can even see how Decider came about making it's decision in the statistics panel. If you were unhappy with Decider's decision you can click the decide button again or change the number of decisions Decider will do until you are satisfied with you answer or how your decision was made.

Development Status:

In December 2004, Decider made its initial release. More features, support and fixes are planned for later releases.

     Requirements:

     Mac OS 10.3

 

Known Issues:

1. When using the font panel to change the text font name or size of the statistics window in the preferences window, the font panel may stop responding to user actions if settings other than the font name or size are changed.

2. The statistics panel background color won't change when the Decider window or statistics panel is front. This and the above issues are maybe because how I implemented fake bindings for the background color and use of the font panel/manager.

3. Currently implemented, there is only one random number generator in use by Decider. This is by design.
