GOIO CHAOS - Lobby Randomization Utility by Atrusario
Atrusario:
Thank you for the kind words!
I created this program using GameMaker: Studio, which uses a proprietary language named GML (Game Maker Language). I might not be the greatest development platform ever, but it greatly speeds up the rate at which I can create applications. Plus, it's severely underrated. When used properly, it can be used to make just about anything!
Peter Pun:
Hey Atrusario,
Since Chaos matches are back, for the last couple of days I was working on a similar program, that would help making the lobbies.
My implementation requires no typing of names, only a screenshot, then it does the rest for you. Though it does no OCR, I might get a library for that.
Also it's lacking a lot of features, yours already have, like hosting, or shuffling anything but the player positions.
Another problem is that it's in C# Windows Form, which isn't compatible with yours.... I'd really like to improve mine, or bring the picture analysis into yours.
If you're interested here's a github link to the project (uncommented, but working)

That. Is. Amazing. All-star team-up time?
Atrusario:
Peter Pun,
I regards to your idea of using a screenshot, I have a few comments.
Firstly, I love the idea! It would speed things up tremendously. I can honestly say that I don't recall ever thinking of this. :o
On the other hand, I see a lot of complications with the implementation. Picture analysis gets pretty complicated when you start working with different resolutions and whatnot. Anything more than simple ratio-based extraction would be difficult. At any rate, I'd be happy to discuss the idea with you further!
Atrusario:
Update 1.3.0 has just released and introduces some pretty amazing features into the program. These additions help to eliminate a lot of the time it takes to set up CHAOS matches! All thanks to some brilliant ideas by PeterPun, you can now load a screenshot of your lobby directly into the program and player name data will be extracted from it! How did I not think of that before?! The name of the player previously in a slot is now shown to speed up the switching process as well.
Thank you for your undying support for this program! Feel free to comment bellow any thoughts, comments, or question you might have.
