For those interested in knowing their average over the span of the graph shown on their stats page, I've created a small Windows program to analyze the graph and report that average.

All you need do is copy the graph image into the clipboard (just right click on the graph and Copy or Copy Image), and then run the program and enter your current rating.

The program is set up to read a graph for a player with 200 games or more but it should produce an accurate average even for new players with fewer than 200 games.

Although the resolution of the graph is not good enough to pinpoint individual ratings points well, the accuracy should still be very good when averaged over 200 entries.

I'm wary of running .exe files downloaded from the internet. Can you make source code and build instructions available?

Never hurts to be extra cautious. :-)

It's a Visual Basic 6 project. I don't know if there is an alternative way to build a VB app, if you don't have Visual Basic installed. Perhaps other members may know how?

The project files:

(edit: extract files, double-click vbp file, in Visual Basic go to Files >> Make QAGA.exe...)

Also, I've already uploaded an update after cleaning up and commenting my code a bit (for kingdave :-D )... current version is now v1.1

If not VB, some of us code in VBA, since it's the behind-the-scenes language for Access and Excel. Their current VBA is most similar to VB6. %-)
