A new web tool for alchemists - Grind-O-Tron!

Just messing around a bit with the developer API, and I came up with this:

http://agent86.nfshost.com/glitch/grind/

It's a tool that can read your inventory, and allows you to put in the type and quantity of powders you'd like to produce.  It will tell you if you've got the right ingredients, and if not, what you still need to mine.

Other similar tools exist already, but meh, I felt like taking this on as a project.  

It's very early at this point, but feel free to play with it.  It lacks write access, so it can't do any harm to your character or profile.  I've also started a group, link's at the bottom of the Grind-O-Tron page.  If you like it or hate it, go leave feedback.  Perhaps with enough prodding I'll make something else :)

  • There is indeed similar but a real place exists exist for more specialized apps.

  • I love this tool!  

    I seem to have found a slight issue, though.  It's telling me I have enough Humbabol at 47 to make an EHSP -- but in fact I need 160 for that!  Can you check the recipes on the tool?

  • I fixed a couple of bugs today surrounding the IE 8/9 support.  If you were using one of those browsers and were having issues loading the Glitch inventory, try again and it should be working.  If you use Opera, sorry, the support for the feature I'm using to load the Glitch inventory isn't there.

    @Circe, it's not checking to see if you have enough compounds, but that your elements + compounds would allow you to create the item.  So, if you've got 47 Humbabol, it will use that up first before converting your elements into compounds.  Hope that helps explain it a bit better.

  • But . . . when I tried to make some more Humbabol, even though the tool told me I had enough of each element to cover it (or that there were no problems and I didn't need anymore), there wasn't enough.  I think.  Of course now I can't remember.

    Next time I'm messing around with it I'll see if I can reproduce it.  

    I love this thing, though.  Very cool.  Thanks for making it!

  • First: love the tool.

    Second: what would be really cool would be for the tool to solve a little LP to tell you what rocks you should grind to make the powders you want to make, while minimizing the total auction market value of the rocks ground. (You could also do something like this for mining.)
