Hey TL! I just finished my 4th year of software engineering (doing a 5 year program), and now I have a few months off. I want to embark on a new coding project but I have very few ideas so far. I would like to make a useful tool for people to use, could be Starcraft related, but anything is fine. Do any of you guys have any kinds of software that you would love to use, but has not been made yet?

SC2 online card game. make it happen =D
ive thought about how to convert sc2 into a TCG style card game should work out pretty well, look at pokemon TCG online for a well made role model =D

Interested in implementing the Prospectus logarithm so I don't have to constantly do it by hand? http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=234547

I think a service where you provide an instant odds estimate using TLPD/SC2Charts/other ranking system would have an audience.
Thank God and gunrun.

Perhaps a replay-syncing background program for casting/obs teams? It would be great if it were automated to the point that it pauses the replay as soon as it loads and doesn't start playing the replay until it detects the other caster(s) also finished. Maybe even make it pause the game, reset to the beginning of the replay, emulate pressing "-" a bunch of times to make sure it's at the slowest setting, then have options to emulate pressing "+" to get to the desired speed and the hotkeys for the nameplates and tab (e.g. production or apm) if chosen in the options. Then after it's loaded and set up, it sends a packet to the other people in the group that it's ready to begin. The last "ready" signal would also be the start signal for everyone's client to play.

I guess because you can change all of the replay hotkeys you may just want to have a text input to store a string of key strokes for people who have changed them around.

I'm not sure if blizzard's warden runs when you watch a replay, but if it does, you'd have to be safe on how you detect that the replay is finished loading and how you emulate the key strokes for manipulating the replay.

You could extend this to have a leading caster that, when they pause, play, or change the speed of the replay, it also sends signals to the other casters' clients to do the same. If possible, perhaps even check in on the replay time occasionally to see if your computer has lagged behind and speed up for a calculated time to catch up. Though I doubt that's possible to check in on without angering warden greatly, in which case you could do something like this.

Even with latency it should be more accurate than a verbal count down at the beginning of a match.

has been done as far as i know its called Prospectus as far as i recover and achieves ~70% when it was tested on GSL and MGLs. Would be interested to make it available to everyone online though, dunno if it allready is.

i wouldnt mind a program to help me keep track of ladder games (im in diamond cant see W/L) and it take into account league of opponent, length of game, and then u can enter in stats like avg unspent resources and probes made so it shows a correlation between the two and points out when u get certain number of probes (use a variable for probe build time and number of bases?) just some other handy stuff to asses gameplay and all that jazz :D?

Make a chrome plugin for TL that gets today's "hot" threads and puts them somewhere easily viewable from the homepage. Maybe add a little flame next to them in the forum index or the sidebar, I dunno, go crazy with it.

Yes, that's my project. Problem is that it's done entirely by hand, paper, and spreadsheet, since I have no talent in programming. But the logarithm is public, so hopefully a programmer will find it interesting enough to implement.
Thank God and gunrun.

sorry the thing that through me off is that your calling it a logarithm? you mean the algorithm? anyways would be good project cause most of all you could test the algorithm thoroughly and tweak it to maximize accuracy -> make $$$ by betting =D
