Anyone got any good ideas for utilities etc we could create to help us conquer the world? We've got maps and Shendemiar is working on other stuff, please use this to list ideas/requests and also what you are working on so we don't duplicate effort: I did code a simple distance calculator but never finished it, I will do if people think it would be useful. Ideas - 1. Trade utility, you enter your name, the name of who you are trading with and it returns the names and locations of valid staging points. This might be easier done with a simple table.
- 2. Distance calculator. You enter any location, enemy island etc and it brings back a list of all alliance members sorted by distance from that point.
- 3. Any more?
I'm happy to code stuff if I get time as long as Robert, Oliver etc help out my buggy coding!

Not sure if it's done, as my last programming experience ended around 1995, but:
Is it possible to write command scripts and send them to IK?
This way one can estimate and program his/her moves, create the script and execute it without having to be "physically" logged in.
Am I talking sci-fi or?

You should have some PHP (or ASP, or whatever) server, and with cron daemon activated, no?

No, it is possible I beleive, but tricky.
I'm no expert though, but I *think* it can be done.
Anyone?

I suppose you could write some kind of scheduled scripts using CRON etc so you would have repeating commands like raid island x every y days with z force etc.
Would reduce micromanagement a bit!

How else can it be done if you're offline?

Ich weiss nicht. Nicht sprechen Deutch. Vo ist Arminius? Using firefox? Try out the extension "gTranslate"!!!! Its not going to open all doors, but it does clean some windows.

I’ve had another idea for a IK utility, namely spying reports. When you want to find out about an island, you enter the coordinates into the utility and it will spit out details from the latest spy report from any of the alliance members. You’d get all relevant details and time/date of the report. If there was no report available as it hadn’t been spied on, or you felt the data was too old, you could make your own spying mission and enter the new data when you get it, putting a marker on the database so others know you are currently sending out spies with an ETA.
Any good? Who wants to code it, if nobody wants to or hasn’t time then I’ll do it but it will take a while I suspect.
This would save duplication of effort where several of us spy on the same target, as well as giving a good repository of old data which would be easy to find. How long do you think it is before the information degrades to being of little use?
Would anyone find this be useful?

It definitely is useful. It's like a db of espionages.
The link you offered above indicates that my suggestion is probably feasible too.
Too bad my coding is exhausted in hello world programs :-(

I’ve had another idea for a IK utility, ..... Now its my turn to exalt you! Excellent idea! Go ahead! As for helping out....well I know how to use Archicad (only VCR programming experience.)

OK, I'll start coding it but can't do much serious stuff as my host is down still and I've not got the software to develop PHP locally.

I believe this would be useful if it were in a language I understand ie English and it supported the .co.uk game which it doesn't appear to. Just downloaded and tried it, only 250kb as a zip file. Anyone here able to convert it, no idea what language it is written in, Java maybe?
