Bueller

Choose students at a randomly fair rate.

Getting started with Dev League cohort names

1. Install via npm with the command $ npm install -g bueller
2. Run with the command $ bueller -c [COHORT_NUMBER]
3. Press the enter key to get a random student's name.

Example of running bueller with cohort 4 names:

$ bueller -c 4

By default, bueller looks for a file located in the cohorts/ directory and a .json file. e.g. $ bueller -c 4 will look for a file at this path: cohorts/4.json

Getting started with your own list of students

1. Install via npm with the command $ npm install -g bueller
2. use the -f flag to pass a path to bueller, e.g. $ bueller -f ../../path/to/file/of/students.json

File must be in json format. Look in the cohorts directory of this repository for the internal format of the json file.

Features

Bueller started out as fully Math.random then Owen implemented mean reverting algorithm so that students would get chosen at an equal rate.

You can configure the degree of variance, by default the value is 2 which means that there may be a slight chance of seeing a student's more than once in a set.

A degree of:

• 0 each student should be called before repeating a name
• 10 totally random

To change the degree of variance, use the -d flag:

$ bueller -c 10 -d 7
