I think both --scoredump and --status create a file with the turn number in it. Ive been thinking along the same lines. There are already a couple Versions of programs to do that but they all require that the user have some programming environment loaded to run the scripts. I was going to "basic" it so that I could offer a stand-alone EXE but if you want to C it that would be great.

No, it was a bash script - my "solution" wrote a file that contained the turn number, and read from it each time. Like I said, it's ugly - and won't work properly if some turns are run without the script - but that's basically the only way I could think of for adding "permanent memory" to a script.

Then use --scoredump or --status and grep it.
