Just wondering...
Does this work?
If it does, it'll be easier to post code. |

Since some people think that Binary Fiction is getting old, I have thought of a few ideas which could increase it's longevity.
In order of coolness...
1. Random Storyline Generator. (best)
A simple script to negotiate nodes randomly until an end node is found, and display one page containing the complete story up until that point. A bit like Collaborative fiction really, but far less coherent.
2. Colour coded links.
A 'writenew' link should be a different colour from a 'view' link, so you don't have to look at the status bar to see if anyone has written more, and you don't inadvertantly lock a node someone else might be trying to write. A cancel button could be handy too, as I have suggested before.
3. Node counter. (dullest)
You can see how many nodes there are now, so you know if anyone has added any recently.
Just a few suggestions - you don't have to implement them if you don't want to; I mean I'm not forcing you... |

In the last couple of days, the site seems to be working very slowly (ie it takes ages between deciding on a entry and accepting it and returning to main game menu). I don't beleive it's my computer that's causing the slow-down. |

Is dictionary access possible? I found a few words that aren't accepted by the dictionary, yet are commonly used, eg shriek. |

When it seems that it would mean to display 62.05% it displays 62.5%, which is quite bothersome. |

I don't know if this will be useful, but if you're a SICO addict and you use Python, this will pop up whenever something changes. It's pretty brain-dead really, but it works surprisingly well.
(If the SICO message-board code adds line breaks, this is gonna look like crap).
#!/usr/bin/python
import re
import string
import sys
import time
import urllib
import Tkinter
regex = re.compile('Game ([0-9]+).*last move.*by.*<i>(.*)</i>')
def GetMovers ():
result = []
try:
for line in urllib.urlopen('http://snoot.org/toys/sico/').readlines():
match = regex.search(line)
if match:
number = match.group(1)
site = match.group(2)
result.append((number,site))
except:
pass
return result
def ShowMovers (gameList):
w = Tkinter.Tk()
w.wm_title('SICO')
tb = Tkinter.Text(w,height=len(gameList),width=40)
tb.grid(row=0,column=0,sticky='nsew')
for game in gameList:
tb.insert(Tkinter.END,'Game %s: %s\n'%game)
ok = Tkinter.Button(w,text='OK',command=w.quit)
ok.grid(row=1,column=0,sticky='ns')
w.mainloop()
w.destroy()
if __name__ == '__main__':
oldList = []
while 1:
newList = GetMovers()
if newList and (newList != oldList):
ShowMovers(newList)
oldList = newList
time.sleep(60)

Every piece has a purple x. Is this a snoot bug or a me bug? |
