Finally something useful

I’ve been programming for over a year now and while I’ve built a few things already, I haven’t really forseen anyone else using them but myself. This time however is slightly different as I can see someone else getting some decent use out of this one.

Runeword calculator

The app functions soley as a calculator for runeword matches based on your current inventory, which you can add to or remove runes from using the point and click GUI. Clicking on a desired runeword will ‘build’ it whilst subtracting the required runes from your inventory.

WIP

This is technically my first Electron app that compiles - a previous RSS Feeds app that I haven’t quite decyphered the build process on yet - and it’s a work-in-progress. It’s far from being a polished alpha in that case; there are some current issues with it I should mention:

  • Rune icons don’t load as expected outside of dev mode
  • The app’s icon is clipped at the top for some reason
  • Layout and design need some serious thought and consideration

Summary

All in all - and I can’t believe I’m saying this - I’m satisfied with the app in it’s current state. Despite a few bugs the actual matching alogorithm works as expected with the current interface, which is all I really need from the app when I’m running Diablo 2 and have this clipped to the side of my bottom screen next to the Pure Diablo Wiki.

I would like to mention that the match algorithm was originally written in Python and ran on the command line and that’s perfectly fine too. This was a good time to learn a new framework and practice my JavaScript skills :)

Simply download tool somehow and follow the instructions in the README!

Happy gaming!
