Playing with Triton Data

Neptune's Pride
1

I was inspired by @Qwerty’s api so I started down the road of playing with Triton’s Data. These are the fruits of the last 24 hours.

First thing I did was to write a PHP wrapper for the server’s data API…

phpTriton: a PHP wrapper

Get the client on GitHub: GitHub - wrenoud/phpTriton: A PHP client for the unpublished API for Neptune's Pride II: Triton

It’s really easy to work with:

require "phpTriton/client.php";

$client = new TritonClient($alias, $password);
if($client->authenticate()){
    $game = $client->GetGame($game_id);
    $universe = $game->GetFullUniverse();
}

Another API endpoint

With a client written, I made my own endpoint for getting public game data. The format is subtly different, I wanted it to be compatible with Ember RESTAdapter.

Endpoint: http://triton.theducky.com/api/games/<game number>
i.e. http://triton.theducky.com/api/games/4985364317995008

{
  games: {
    id: "4985364317995008",
    name: "Phi Achernar",
    tick: 92,
    ...
    stars: [...],
    players: [...]
  }
}

Making Charts

With my own api in place I then got to making some Google Charts.

The results of my playing can be seen at http://triton.theducky.com/. A game number can be dynamically enter in the interface, or include it in the url to auto load.

i.e. http://triton.theducky.com/#4985364317995008

I was lacking creativity though. If anyone can think of plots they’d like to see I’ll add them to the interface.

This is on so higher level!
[size=12]W[/size][size=16]O[/size][size=20]O[/size][size=24]O[/size][size=28]O[/size][size=32]O[/size][size=36]OOOOOOT![/size]

Now I have this star-to-player@tick relation table, which looks like this

{"42":{
       "1":{"suid":"1","puid":"12","tick":"42"},
       "2":{"suid":"2","puid":"8","tick":"42"},
       "3":{"suid":"3","puid":"4","tick":"42"},
       ...
       },
 "43":{
       "1":{...},
       ...
       },
 ...

it is called like this
http://nptriton.cqproject.net/ticks/42-43/4610412414763008/stars

http://nptriton.cqproject.net/ticks/<range>/<game_number>/<type>

where <range> can be
/x/     shows relation data for tick x
/x-/    shows for tick x and later
/-x/    prior to x, inclusive
/x-y/   from x to y
//      all ticks from database

<game_number> is game number, like
/4610412414763008/

<type> can be 
/stars
/players
/full      (not yet working)

The question is, can you draw it?

More info, such as number of games stored, here.

Neat!! You are awesome! Now can you make it mobile compatible and add alliance support? :stuck_out_tongue:

See “Usage” how I am doing it. Map tweaks (alliances, hide personal info,...)
