Coming to an Archive Near You

[nawglan]

Working on the UI side of things now... Finally rewrote the back end.

Of the 2810 games I have for Dubber (still have some that are not parsed yet...)

Dubber is left handed (more stabs with left hand).
Dubber has cast 68059 spells in 69011 turns.
The game that Dubber used the most spells in is #15136 (23 unique spells used).
The players that targeted Dubber the most:
MadEroll - 833
Taliesin - 817
nawglan - 528
(and so on, a top 10 list)

The players that Dubber targets the most:
MadEroll - 1259
nawglan - 693
Taliesin - 646
(again, a top 10)

As well as the usual spell counts, etc. I'm also tracking what players say. Will be able to search it, etc. Results will give link to game in the archive.

Elo will be tracked on a game by game basis. Graphs showing how elo changed will be shown, etc. The Daily / Weekly / Monthly bit will be gone unless yall want me to keep it.

As for presentation, I'm thinking of coming up with a "baseball card" style format so each player will have a "player card". Will try to come up with something interesting.

Any requests as to what else to track? I do plan on allowing annotations to be added to games. Need to work on the UI a bit first before that happens.

It would be nice to get a list of all games between two specific players (e.g. Slartucker vs. BioLogIn), games in which uncommon spells were cast (e.g. all games in which Taliesin cast a banked time stop), or even games featuring specific non-spell gesture sequences (e.g. SPFPW/XXXFF).

Baseball card should include 'signature spells' which that player cast more than aggregate, and maybe signature openings too.

EDIT: Archive is currently acting up; it says for example that I have over 2 million kills.

[nawglan]

I like those ideas. 8) I'm also gonna add to the list: which game you got the highest elo boost / loss. I also wanna track serial killers (who has killed the most players). As well as a crash test dummy award for being killed by the most warlocks.

[nawglan]

ya, the current archive is hosed atm. I am keeping the archiver running so it pulls games off of ravenblack's site so I don't lose them. The stats might be a bit wacky.

[BioLogIn]

I'm a very bloodthirsty person:

_Games 771 100.000%
_Loss 258 33.463%
_Win 513 66.537%
_died 65 8.431%
_kills 9965207 1292504.150%

[Dubber]

When the Nightmare Touch Kills you, he kills you, your corpse, and your corpses corpses...
several times

[ellipsis]

Hahaha.

Also, yay for archive update.

[nawglan]

resurrecting this thread... status update.

New parser is working nicely. Running through all the archived games thus far. currently it's at 23317 out of 50954 games. This is just the parser portion. Next is adding code to it so that we can track interesting things.

Like: How often does Dubber shadow cast ***** spell? How successful is he at landing Lightning Bolt? etc.

I'm thinking that for the archive, I'd like to develop Warlock Trading Cards or something similar. Where you can get the rundown on the lethality of your warlock in a nice concise manner.

You can track progress on github. github.com/nawglan?tab=repositories

[BioLogIn]

Sounds nice =) I'll be looking forward to see it implemented )

[Dubber]

How goes the stats crunching?

[nawglan]

Made it through the entire archive, no new grammar needed. Next, I am going to combine the code and release it to CPAN Aug 16th (which is CPAN Day) as Games::WavingHands. This will be a playable version of the original game (eventually). The archive portion will just be a parser for the original game. I'll implement Warlocks variant of the parser (cut-n-pasting current code) as an extension of Games::WavingHands, probably named Games::WavingHands::Warlocks, etc. Which will be a playable version of Warlocks, and have a corresponding archive. This part I will probably work on in parallel with the original version, since the mechanics are basically the same.

[Manzo il Grande]

I took a look at your Github commits ("for money or for pride" haha =D). While I don't speak Perl (Java/C/Python for me), I am quite interested in the project.

Two quick questions - 1)Where can I find the most recent version of the archive? 2) Did ravenblack ever release the source for the site?

[nawglan]

Source for the site is not available. This will be reverse engineering. Here's the link for the data: warlocks_games.tar.bz2

[BioLogIn]

Hey nawglan

Can you please give me some reasonble stats on average Warlocks game length (number of turns)? I'd like to estimate the average size of data needed to store the complete game...
