OFF TOPIC ALERT!
I think a fun programming project for me would be to set up some kind of program where you enter in all the components in your designs and you get a report (maybe even a dynamic webpage
) on whatever aspect of your design you want (damage per turn, shield efficiency, cruising range, etc.)
Of course this would have to wait until I figure out how to import data from the Malfador files in a format that I'd actually be willing to use... I've been spoiled by Visual Studio so I won't touch data that isn't fully encapsulated in a class so that I have to memorize a million variable names and such...
Maybe if I give up on trying to import the data into a DataSet and just create my own custom classes...
Another use of this project would be that it would provide a base library for creating modding tools... and with the final patch almost out, I don't have to worry about the files changing on me all of a sudden!
(of course you all know what happens to my projects... remember that much simpler Version that only calculated ship ranges that I promised to Fyron?
)
