New TAF Metrics - Some Progress
June 19, 2022•151 words
My thinking about the new metrics is that I can record the number of seconds since the start of the game as a timestamp for when each command is entered. I'll also record the time since the last command was entered.
This gives me a time-line of when each command was entered and a ready-made log of the intervals between the commands.
These are both recorded in the trace window preceded by a token/label. These can be easily pulled out of the log file of a game using the Linux grep command and, with some suitable scripting, be converted into a useful format, perhaps CSV.
I also need to work out a way of recording successful commands an unsuccessful commands. There might be a lot of places to try to capture those. The command interpreter passes off most of the actual command parsing and checking to other functions.
We shall see.
