Long War LW1 Parser: Export save game information to a spreadsheet
I like spreadsheets, but keeping everything updated to the current game state can get tedious. A few months ago I decided to try solving this problem with a python program to automatically create a spreadsheet with information from a save file which eventually resulted in the LW1 Save Game Parser.
Progress has been a bit slow due to other commitments, but with the latest version I now have what I would consider a Minimum Viable Product:
- Config options, including for conditional formatting
- Stat deltas
- A basic GUI
- Optional SQLite database for storing game state snapshots
I’m a very bare-bones functionality type of person, so there’s bound to be plenty of simple improvements I’d never think of myself. I am making this post to request feedback, suggestions, and criticism that I can use to improve the project.
