adventures in JavaScript
2013-Nov-17, Sunday 05:41 pmI'm definitely spoiled by PowerShell. I wasn't really a fan of JavaScript anyway, but I spent the weekend in it, and now I'm even less enthusiastic about the language.
My project was the creation of a concise "live" chart that shows all of the spaceship information from the Star Citizen webpage but without all of the extraneous fluff that makes their site too large for easy viewing. Compare them for yourself to see if it's effective:
I call the same scripts that they do, so in theory my chart should automatically update whenever they change ship stats or add new spaceships. They were very inconsistent in some of their textual descriptions, so I had to get creative to strip raw numbers from amongst their free-form text. Hopefully they will standardize their wording in the future.
Anyway... I had fun creating it. I hope that other would-be players like me will eventually find it useful.
