Still more work before the GUI dev project rolls...

Published:

I now have to take each of the scripts and modify them to work with expected output, not just print statements.

For the updater script this is including the 7.14% completion addition at the end of each update rather than printing "2 rows were added to PAPickThreeEve.csv"

For the universal classification script this will be much more difficult... I have to rip down the logic used to buffer and display columns side by side in the output. I Must verify this at the script level first... by keeping the prints and getting them back to whole column printouts... this means moving the multi-level sort AND keeping the optional output if the window variable is set higher than zero. Also, the jackpot games will need to suppress zero information... if a number was not drawn in the sample, it will be hidden in the output. That should be simple as I give the MRA(most recent appearance, or draws since it last showed up) a value of 999 if absent.

Then I need to run the newer versions against the older versions to compare that the output is the same.

Then they will just need the data output redirected into the appropriate kivy widget instead of being printed to the console.

Then... the classifier must be run using each of the 14 games to ensure no surprises or errors... that does not take too long, but it is an exhaustive test of the suitability of one universal script for all games.

Only then can the process of designing an application loop take place... this will be for the windows desktop version. After that works, the entire environment and project folders/files need to be dropped into a Docker container as kivy for android needs a linux environment and that is just easier to do with docker than spinning up WSL or porting to the raspberry pi.

Getting the app running on windows is priority one, and the android version of the windows app for an android device... but none of this can begin until the scripts are production ready. Not even setting a time frame as GUI apps are brand new to me.
