MobMash
This project aims to unravel the answer to the gargantuan query of existential magnitude: Which is the best Minecraft mob?
Visitors are prompted with two mobs and should decide which one they like better. After they choose, the "looser" is replaced with a new candidate. In the background, an Elo-style rating system is keeping track of the individual matches. The rating also determines the next candidate - similar rating are paired up. Within one session, pairings are not repeated.

Local Development
To develop locally, you need a PostgreSQL database and a PHP 8 interpreter. If you don't have a local web server, you can just use the built-in development server of PHP: php -S localhost:8080 -t ./html/
As for configuration, just copy ./config.templ.php to ./config.php, fill out the values, and you are ready to go.
The migrations are automatically applied with the first served request.
You will probably have to run ./bin/cron/updateData.php to create the mob entries in the database and fetch the images. The other files in the ./bin/cron/ are not necessary for most development work, as they will just some cleanup and caching stuff for production.
