This code is in support of this boardgamekeek.com challenge.
If you're unfamiliar with programming and/or Python, use the web-based Python Playground to run this program:
- Visit https://lwebapp.com/en/python-playground
- Copy and paste the entirety of staircasehelper.py into the left textbox.
- Follow the instructions in that file to edit the all-caps values at the top
(up to and including
ALL_GAMES) to match your challenge details and display preferences. In some cases, alternative settings are left as comments (anything after a "#"). These lines are inert and aren't part of the program. In those cases, you can simply remove the "#" and put a "#" in front of the setting you don't want. - Click the blue
Runbutton to generate output in the right textbox. - Copy the contents of the right textbox excluding the first two lines
(copied lines should begin with a
[size=24]tag). - Paste this into your BGG post.
- To update your plays, repeat this entire procedure. You can save your
tweaked version of the program to make the process easier. Then you would
only need to update the
ALL_GAMEStable each time.
If you already know how to run Python scripts:
- You can clone this repo or download/copy staircasehelper.py to run.
- Follow the instructions in that file to edit the all-caps values at the top
(up to and including
ALL_GAMES) to match your challenge details and display preferences. - Run the script and copy/paste the output into your BGG post.
- To update your plays, simply update the
ALL_GAMEStable, rerun the script, and edit your post with the new content. - If there's a bugfix or improvement you think would be useful to general users, I will happily accept both Issues and Pull Requests.
