Ranking App

[sakoki]

Hello, I am "working" (as in I haven't started yet and am hoping to finish within a day or two ) on an App to let its users compare two entities and choose which one is better. These ratings would, in theory, be sent to a server which would create a ranking based on these user-submitted ratings. Since, however, this is a very basic school project, all I have to do is make the app create user-specific rankings rather than one ranking created from all the users' rankings. Now, I have a (very basic) idea how to create apps, but I don't actually know how to create a ranking from the singular ratings. So, can someone please explain to me (or link an article explaining) the functionality of such a software? I am not asking about the actual code of the app, after all, that's what I'm supposed to practice, I just need to know how the app would actually go from a bunch of "1v1" ratings to a complete ranking.

 

I really don't know how to properly explain this, but I hope it is somewhat understandable, if not, I'm sorry, also please let me know so I can attempt to make this somewhat clear.

 

Thanks in advance

Off the top of my head, this feels like it would use the same rating system as is used in games like chess - the Elo rating system. I'm sure there are other/better ways out there.

Yes, I looked into it a bit further and it does indeed seem like the chess ELO ranking system would be best (or at least easier than developing a new system) for this.
