Postgame Replay / Debriefing

How about a witness program as a plugin for users?

Alternatively, let us do it ourselves by providing a “take snapshot RIGHT NOW” api. For example, I call Neptune's Pride and it returns JSON:{stars: [each star is the exact same as NeptunesPride.universe.galaxy.stars with private data stripped], players: [each player is the same as NeptunesPride.universe.player but with all the private information removed], tick: current tick number}

This is what is returned when you request a games data when you are not in the game. In theory you can do this now.

Oh, perfect! I’ll give it a try. If that does work now, then you don’t need anything else to keep at least me happy

Do you have to be logged in or can I make requests for game data without being logged in? Obviously my hourly cronjob wouldn’t be logged in.

Hey Jay,

So I tried this. When I’m in the lobby, I can get the public data from any games (ones I’m playing and ones I’m not playing). This is cool - but when I’m not logged in at all, it tells “me must_be_logged_in”. What a pity!

So, I’m wondering if you could either provide a url you can hit with the game id and it sends back the data (can be identical format to full_universe_report, or whatever) - this would be awesome cause I’m lazy - OR if you can change it so that you CAN do a full_universe_report without being logged in and it works the same as when doing it from the lobby.

If that works, I’ll be extra happy

In the meantime, I might see if I can log in with PhantomJS/CasperJS and then perform the queries from there - I only need to be in the lobby to query any game, after all. EDIT: CasperJS did not work For some reason, I wasn’t able to navigate the menus…

Thanks!
