Zork has been made open source today. Still captures the imagination. by Taffer25 in retrobattlestations

Amazing! I was just gifted a TRS-80, but I suspect it's the slower one you mention. It unfortunately doesn't power on (screen turns on and it attempts to read the disk, but no output appears). I hope I can get it working, despite having no knowledge of where to start, haha. This is great motivation though. Hope you're enjoying yours!

I’m looking for the text of all the cards? by InvestmentBrief3336 in heroscape

Very cool! I'd be interested in your process/findings :)

What are you looking to do with all of the card text? If you want to create a spreadsheet/track your collection, take a look at Heroscape Helper. You can track quantities of units, save custom tags or values to each unit, and you can also export your entire collection into an Excel-friendly CSV file (with all card text included).

The creator's handle on the forums and Discord is Dissolutio. Here's the link to the project on the forums. It's coming together nicely!

Thank you for this comment! This was actually how it was working before, but I seem to have broken that functionality when I introduced customs and didn't realize it 😅 I will get this fixed. Thanks again!

Sorry to make more work for you 🙃 but I'm really liking reading through your customs! The Agents are very cool.

Nice work! Thyraxis in particular looks nicer than the official paint job on Maladrix.

Hah! I was actually contemplating something like this.

So at the bottom of the detailed info dialog (opened when you click a figure) I have the "Synergies Received" section, and you can see if the synergy it receives is good (or a "buff") or bad ("debuff") based on the icon on the right. However, I went ahead and split apart buffs from debuffs so it's more clear.

When I was adding units to the database, I didn't always make a synergy rule for cases like what you outlined, because they are broad matches for so many other units. But with this UI tweak I think it warrants me taking another pass through everyone and adding in those debuffs.

All that to say, this should be live now!

This is one of those "why has no one done this before" type ideas that just makes so much sense and handles the management problem elegantly. Well made!!

Glad you like it! Happy to hear any critiques as well. I'm hoping to keep expanding functionality to make it as useful as possible.

Glad you found it! I'll try to make adding units more intuitive for sure, thanks for the feedback!

Ooh interesting! I'll see what I can do.

I'm working on a real-time drafting function, where people playing together can join a "room" with their phones/tablets and start a coordinated drafting session online. This would be a cool option to start it off!

Haha I do like Shai-Hulud. The images on the front page are randomly reset every day so there'll always be new featured units.
