I’ve almost completed the Mass Effect Checklist program I’ve been working on.  Since the last time I mentioned this (two entries ago), I didn’t realize how much work would be involved in the Planetary Checklist part of the program.  Thankfully, I’ve gotten passed it (despite fighting with having this damnable flu).

Save and load functionality and some aesthetic functionality are all that needs to be done.  Save and Load shouldn’t be too difficult to implement – it’s just a matter of taking all of the input the user puts in and transferring it to a simple file that can be loaded again later.  Not a big deal.  The tricky part is the aesthetics that I want to finish up.  When you’ve selected a cluster, I want the icons on the Planetary Checklist screen to have a nice, green checkmark on them to indicate that you’ve been to all the worlds in that system.  If you’ve been to all the worlds in a given cluster, I want a nice, green checkmark to appear over the cluster in question on the map.

Also, I was building custom tooltips for the clusters on the map so you could see in a glance what cluster that is (since there are no labels).

Once all of that is done, then I can safely say that the program is done.  When that happens, I’ll package it up and post it here in case anyone else (besides myself) is interested in it.  I don’t image there’d be too many (if any) people since most people have a printer and can actually print and use Teryx’s pdf Checklist.  I figure, what the hell, put it up anyway because you just never know.

Update:
I created a new subdomain (projects.khevorslanding.ca) for the sole purpose of having a place to put anything I work on (including the Mass Effect Checklist program).  So this entry will be the last for this project.  From here on in, it will be at the new site.  This site will still be for everything else though.
