Algorithms that interpret official Alchemists companion app codes in a compatible way.
I have a few concerns about the official companion apps:
- The mobile apps are built on a discontinued game engine, which uses binary libraries that are falling out of support
- The mobile and web apps disagree on some codes, leading to game-breaking compatibility issues if players use a mixture
Additionally, if someone wanted to create a replacement to address these issues, it would be difficult to create an effective code scheme that didn't conflict with the official apps.
If you have Rust (and cargo) installed, and have cloned the repo:
$ cargo run -- --help
abg-code-algorithms 0.1.0
USAGE:
abg-code-algorithms [FLAGS] [codes]...
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-s, --sheet Output results like the deduction sheet
-V, --version Prints version information
-w, --web Replicate any known companion web app discrepancies
ARGS:
