I have a request for anyone with programming skill (I have none myself). Would you be willing to make a program similar to Chris Double's Gene Compare, except instead of comparing two genomes, it can compare entire populations? (It's for a very long-running feral run.) I need it to: * compare hundreds of genomes * count all variations of a specific gene, assign labels to each variant (no need to be fancy, numbering them will suffice) and produce a legend (txt file or something). * compile a list of all norns and which variant of each gene they have, and create an Excel spreadsheet of them all. (It has to be Excel because SPSS can read Excel spreadsheets.) optional features (don't bother with these if they're too hard): * able to analyze both .gen and .creature files, or maybe even a mixed group (I have a whole pile of exported creatures, and a few .gen files for stillborn creatures). * displays parentage as two columns in the Excel file, with parents who are in the dataset as well assigning random identifiers to specific parents who are not in the dataset. * has a default version of the 'half-lives' gene and, in the gene variants legend, only displays differences from the default instead of printing the whole entire gene. (The half-lives gene is really annoying to analyze with Gene Compare because it's so long and is counted as different for a change in any single half-life.) By the way, I don't care if anyone steals my ideas for their own work, as long as you don't try to stop me from making my own stuff. Many ideas I mention are things I don't have the time or skill to actually do. |

I really like the idea. I wish someone would turn this idea into a reality because the only problem I can see that may happen is the time it takes to process the information. That shouldn't be a problem though as long as it is just working with a couple of genes in the in your population. Then I don't quite know how you would get the genes from .creature files without importing them back into your game and checking there information below their picture so if someone does make it maby it could make a log of what gene file a creature is using before it is exported. Altogether it is a fantastic idea. I don't have programming skills either but it would be very useful tool when working with genes. I am a huge fan of Creatures Docking Station. |
