Naglfar Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Since I'm probably going to be putting a lot of my productive energy towards learning to code soon, now's a good a time as any to talk about this. I have an idea for a starting project, something I wish existed but can't find. I've conceived a mafia organiser/database tool. The basic idea is to have a program that can hold an entire game thread and whatever other relevant stuff exists - yes, I won't learn crazy things like how to make the program rip data straight from the forum for a good while so you're going to have to paste everything in manually - but the trade off is you'll have access to specialised search functions, sort of like the forum ones except not completely useless for mafia purposes. On top of posts being categorised by player and phase, I'll add a tag system so you can pick exactly what you want to see. Isolating a player's posts is easy. Better still, tell the program to omit all posts you tagged as fluff; it's now possible to get a fucking read on Blitz. Read an entire topic of discussion without posts on other topics getting in the way. Shamwow does it all. Essentially it's a tool for people like me who are usually really unorganised, but I'm confident anyone would be able to find a use for it. Only problem is the horrible amount of time it'd take to get the data into the program to begin with... Would you be interested in something like this? Does something like this already exist? Any ideas to deal with the data input issue? Should I just wait until I learn how to make it read the thread automatically? Opinions go.

Psych Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I believe I saw a thing like this on the MSPA forums, but it was more an almost Epic Mafia simulator, and you could play a game on it and stuff too. Still, I guess it would be kinda cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
