Integration with Archtracker

In the past season, I played 22 games with PPSKI, and while I won the majority of them, he's well his way to beating me.
The thing is, the ladder doesn't show it.

Each game the scores end similarly (17 20 or so), but each time, PPSKI starts off winning, and as I get warmed up, I'll overtake. Initially it was at 5 kills and i'd rocket past. These days it's only at about 15 or so when we pass each other.

So here's my suggestion:
If you see a match on the Archtracker with 'dcl' in the game neame, poll it for scores every minute or two. Then if a game is reported in that level with those pilots, make some nice graphs of the matches kill profile.

Just an idea, probably in the 'too hard for too little outcome' pile....

After you get out of a game, you can look at the gamelog.txt. It has all the damage you took, all the kills and deaths. You can use it to construct a gameflow chart. Sometimes I do, if a game is really good -- like this one: http://descentchampions.org/view_match.php?id=1720

Wow! I did not know about this file, I'll have to check it out.

A few people have written scripts to process the file and do cool things with it. Just remember to save the file before starting another game, it gets overwritten...
