Bout Time Reviews
Bout Time Reviews: The Ultimate "Who Would Win?" Simulator!
Ever argued with your friends about which game is truly better? Now you can settle the score once and for all!
Bout Time Reviews is a unique head-to-head calculator and fight simulator that transforms review scores into an epic boxing match. Pit your favorite titles against each other in a battle of stats, stamina, and pure luck to see who comes out on top.
How It Works
This tool is designed with Steam games in mind, but you can use it for anything that has a Metacritic score!
- Enter Your Fighters: On each card, fill in the name of the game or item you want to compare.
- Input the Scores: Use the dropdowns to select the "All Reviews" and "Recent Reviews" ratings from a game's Steam page, and enter the number of reviews for each. Then, add the official Metacritic score.
- Calculate & Fight! The app calculates a final score for each fighter based on a weighted average of the reviews. The more reviews a game has, the more its score is trusted! When you're ready, hit the Fight! button to watch the simulation unfold.
Features
- Deep Simulation: Fights aren't just about the score. The simulation includes critical hits, fatigue, a dynamic "to-hit" system, and a sliding underdog bonus to give weaker fighters a chance!
- Persistent Champions: Create your own "universe" of champions! The application tracks an Undisputed, Heavyweight, Inter-Genre, and multiple local champions. Defend your titles or fight to crown a new king!
- Dramatic Finishes: Watch the action unfold in a detailed, turn-by-turn fight log. Fighters can be knocked down and have a chance to recover, but three knockdowns in a bout results in a TKO! If a fighter is too hurt and out of stamina, their corner might even stop the fight.
- Go the Distance: If no one can score the knockout, the fight goes to the judges' scorecards, where the winner is decided based on the number of landed hits!
- Import & Export: Save your greatest champions and favorite matchups! Use the export feature to generate a text string for any fighter, then import them back into the game at any time.
Who will be crowned the undisputed champion in your universe? It's Bout Time you found out!
AI Usage Statement
This application was developed in a collaborative process between a human user and an AI Language Model.
AI Model: Gemini, a large language model developed by Google.
Role of AI: The AI's role was that of a programmer and technical writer. It was responsible for writing, debugging, refactoring, and documenting the application's code based on a series of iterative prompts and plans of action provided by the human user. All architectural decisions, feature requests, and logic refinements originated from the human user.
Process: The development followed a conversational, prompt-based workflow. The user provided a directive, the AI proposed a plan of action, the user approved or modified the plan, and the AI implemented the changes. This cycle was repeated for all features and bug fixes.
