User:Eleanorg/2.2/yes
The word yes is printed to screen. User votes 'yes', 'no', or 'maybe'. For each 'maybe' the word gets x amount bigger. For each 'yes' it gets twice that amount bigger. Each no is counted as zero and does not affect the size.
Here it is: http://pzwart3.wdka.hro.nl/~egreenhalgh/cgi-bin/2.2/yes/2showYes.cgi
Code
Make db
Make a db to count the votes. Run once.
