Collab
I'll need to play a save for a bit but it keeps track of so many different stats. From soldier mission count to what missions are planned for the month. When I was on windows I saw that linux had a cool text command called grep which manages text operations. It a more complex input then simply a list since there's formatting involved and the mod can get long making the text file long. The fun part comes from being able to store all that info in a database and then being able to search via database. Or have a gui to it.
The database will hold a soldier table, a table for mission id and details associated with it, a memorial?(there's a bit usually). To be expanded as I look at the actual data. They have initial stats and max stats as well so there could be a display on how their stats jumped after a certain point.
Ideally the database is offline so I can work with it using text editors to look at the save and read from it. It writes to the server and has the proper backup. The database will be hosted on Github I don't know if there's a fee for one or if you can run it locally atm.
TLDR: Goal is to make a save reader that can output the contents of the text file into a database based on identifiable stats like mission count, hp, etc. A gui that lets you run sql commands in the backend for menu stuff.
Java for the gui(I used java fx in the past not sure if there's something new or better now)
Grep for file management
Still need to look into databases I think last time I was going for postgreSQL last time I tried to do this project.
Progress: An idea. I looked into grep and tried looking for a windows alternative. I made the switch to linux but its still new.
Looking for collaboration. From code review, pull/push to practice git, to telling me my (0)^2 could be faster if I did... Looking for explanations though if possible. Oh and Ill name a soldier after you if you want.
