I just want to re-publish my battlelib here. (Originally published in the Weewar tangler group.)

Original post:

Hi all,

a few days ago I found the Weewar Battle Simulator: http://www.plutosforge.com/blog/projects/weewar-battle-simulator

It's a really nice tool. I thought about how to exactly calculate the probabilities for all possible battles' outcomes. And yes, I finally managed to write some python code, which does exactly calculate the battle result probabilities, without having to perform simulations. (Remember: I am not calculating the actual results of a battle (because of randomness), I am calculating the probabilities for all possible outcomes.)

Unfortunately, I do not have a root server or something I could run Django/Python at, to make use of this code. And I am not motivated enough to port it to dirty PHP or something like that.

Moreover I think that it's better, when everybody can see how to build such a calculator. For this reason I publish my code:

I hope some tools can profit from my work. Smile

Regards, bmaker

Regards again, bmaker

Don't suppose you are interested in porting this code to java?

**spadequack**

If you want, I can post the java port.

@spadequack: Sure, if you have already ported it, or are planning to port it, and bmaker is cool with it. It would definitely save me a little time and I would appreciate it...

edit: here are the two files: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=a08c8e5600c8730cab1eab3e9fa335ca439577eb8d2653f9
