With the successful multi game updater and making measurable progress with the parameterization of the classification function, the development process for the GUI app which unifies these scripts will probably start in a week.

Seeing the demo app for Kivy shows many interesting options, such as a progress bar and being able to add a heat map display under the data, so cold, neutral and hot can have different attributes such as background color.

2026 is also the year to work on a formalized process for phase 2. There will be ongoing changes, such as consistent code commenting and generating documentation for the project.

This is more about the completion of a framework than a real effort to find a working system at this point... development and learning are my favorite parts of this hobby anyway, a hit is just icing... phase 2 development is where the next round of ideas will be created and explored.

I can always pull the plug on actually playing at any point, but I do want to have a go at playing a solid year, 2026 is that year. Whether I end up playing out of pocket with zero wins and end up losing $728 or I catch a win or 2 between now and 12/31 to have them fund the ride... it is ON !
