Damn, this thing is ugly

Posted by Squidpunch under FAQ

Well I am a programmer, not a designer or graphic artist. I will try and pretty it up, but right now I just want it to work, and see what people think. I can get the engine of this '72 chevy running, but i can't give it a worthy paint job for the life of me - in time maybe I will learn....hopefully, ugly or not it functions!

Damn, this thing is slow

It seems to run ok for me, but then again you have to consider the amount of data that is being pulled from and then calculated against to give you a scouting report. There are a number of API loads for each gamertag, more gamertags, more data - so yeah it might run a bit slow, and perhaps if its useful I can modify it a bit to make it work a bit faster with some caching or local storage of data for a gamertag etc. I am also hosting this on a shared hosting plan - feel free to buy me a dedicated server if you have money just laying around

Your Formula Sucks

Posted by Squidpunch under FAQ

Perhaps, I did my best to consider what might make it more likely for an individual to win a challenge - but there are many factors that can be viewed based on the data we can see, but also factors we cannot see - the persons drive to win - even the most unlikely person can get that fire in their belly and desire to win so much so that they come out on top even when every statistic indicates they wouldn't win - this is mostly for fun, and with some tweeking perhaps it might really help you forcast your chances of winning an upcoming challenge...

I can make this better

What is your formula to calcuate this completely random looking results?

Posted by Squidpunch under FAQ

Well where is the fun in that? The formula is based somewhat on the values that you see on the final report, right now its pretty basic, I would like to make it more complex and hopefully even more accurate to final results of a challenge - I might post the actual formula later as the tool grows, if people really care - and want to help make it more accurate!

I want to contact you
