[GZG] [FT] Campaign manager

G'day,

I'm about to brush up my JAVA skills by writing an FT campaign manager for
Derek (the skills are needed for work, but who said it had to be a boring
training program!). While I will do this regardless I also thought I'd ask if
anyone here had one already (or something similar) to keep him happy while I
go swear a lot... ahh code;)

Cheers

Well, stealing the storage format from FTJava would probably make some
sense - saves you retyping all the ship designs.

re is an older starmap program that had some basic resource counting
abilities. I used it a couple of years back. Not sure if it will help in your
project, but it seemed to be related to your subject.

If you're looking for that sort of thing, I've been working on a similar
project (on and off) for the last few years:

http://www.glendale.org.uk/traveller/data/

It's all Java based, and the code is part of the sourceforge Mapcraft
project[1]. Resource management and the beginnings of a dynamic trade system
(e.g. tracking individual ships) aren't visible in the interface, but there's
some work in the code base.

G'day guys,

Thanks for the pointers and bets wishes, but after discussing the project with
my PhD student <its New years party of course we'd get into odd topics;)>
she's convinced me to go Python for the work (and play) projects... so I've
tooled up (got the compiler and some books). I'll
let you know how it goes - I have 15 years C and C++ coding experience
so it shouldn't be too scary it just has to happen in between painting the
kids bedrooms over the next few weeks.... and I may even get some games in;P

Thanks

G'day Sam,

Well the joys of working in an R and Matlab heavy enviro is that when teaching
I'm very used to scripting up the infrastructure and using
C/C++ for crunchy bits. In my stuff I was still heavily old school (all
C/C++) but everyone needs a shake-up every now and again... besides if
my PhD students are using it I better get my head round it so I can keep up
with them;)

Happy New Year!

Python is a great language though I don't care for the whole "indentation used
to mark blocks of code bit." When I was working
with it the one take-away was just how slow the language was.  For a
campaign manager you probably won't be able to tell the difference and I'm
sure that Guido and team has done things to speed it up since then.
