New TAF Metrics - More Progress

TAF will now collect information on every command entered by the players throught the duration of a game..

This includes:

  • The number of the command (1 .. X, where X is the last command).
  • The command string, as entered by the user.
  • The time when the command was entered (relative to the start time of the game).
  • The amount of time between this command and the previous command (the "thinking" time between the commands).
  • Whether the command was successful or not.

TAF can export this information out to a CSV format text file, for subsequent processing in a spreadsheet.

As a happy side effect, it also the development of a command history fuinction within TAF, allowing the review of commands used so far, and the replay of any previoously used command.

So, silver linings and happy days.
