Re: Wish-List for Dominions 4
I had a long write-up someplace on that subject. Collect the scores.html, import it into a spreadsheet, use a ghostscript or gnuplot routine to turn it into a graph, convert to .png
I hadnt considered the options for partial info or spaced out info which sound very interesting. I was hoping for single turn info in something abit more readable such as pie charts. Especially for really large games where the regular score info is hard to read.
Later I was considering how cool it would be to duplicate the in-game score screens for viewing on a webpage for that game. When I thought about trying to export them from inside the game it turned out easier to go with the build-from-scratch using the scores.html file.
Also, the same programming can be used to get around another complaint about the scores in the game. That they lose the info on a nation when its beat.
