Conditional (auto)categorization

Open Knopfdruckoffizier opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

Option would allow a user to set simple OR/AND/AND NOT conditions based on categories of a game. This would allow the user to set up more useful categories.

Examples: a) Category: Multiplayer only; Condition: Multiplayer AND NOT Singleplayer (means all games that have only the first category and not the second one) b) Category: Indie RPG; Condition: Indie AND RPG (means all games that have both categories) c) Category: Causal/Family; Condition: Causal OR Family (means all games that have one of the two categories)

This should also work with combinations of categories and flags of a specific game.

The way I want to achieve what you're looking for will be a little bit simpler than asking the user to construct a logical condition, but will be able to accomplish things like your examples.

Each custom category would be associated with a set of items (genres or flags). Each item can have four states: ignored, included, required, and excluded. To have the custom category applied, the game must match

  • ONE of the 'included' items, if any 'included' items are set
  • ALL of the 'required' items
  • NONE of the 'excluded' items

So, just to match that up with your particular examples:

a) Multiplayer required (or included); Singleplayer excluded. b) Indie and RPG both required c) Casual and Family both included
