Revision as of 20:18, 21 March 2009

For convenience I am not including 7DRL or similar quicky roguelikes (that are well covered elsewhere anyway). Also only including those where you can download the game (preferably have a home page and source as well).

Cracks and Crevices is alphabetised down in the S's, i'd move it but I'd have to alter all the alternate line colouring which I didnt want to mess with such an update touching every line..... Stu 15:12, 19 March 2009 (CET)
Thanks. I wouldn't worry too much about the shading. There'll probably be a few more to be added yet. PaulBlay
Shame we can't have this kind of thing automated. When a new release is made, so many pages need to be touched. Stu 16:32, 19 March 2009 (CET)
Surely there's an easier way? Does the wiki formatting allow borders in tables? That way we could have the grey background with a white border, or something similar. Otherwise we should just strip the different colours - far too hard to maintain as it is. Darren Grey 20 March 2009
It's a 30 second job with Excel. PaulBlay
OK, maybe a 54 second job - but that includes the time to load the page before and after. ;-) PaulBlay
It looks like the IRLDB has something similar to this; maybe we can use that instead of this page. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to automatically update. Nathan Stoddard 21:07, 20 March 2009 (CET)
I used the IRLDB as one of the sources. It is far from complete (although it obviously has some technical advantages). By including just 2008 onwards I cut down the task to a (just) manageable level. I would not like to have the job of collating equivalent material for other years. PaulBlay
Well at some point we should maybe move out 2008 to a separate article and have "recent" as only 2009. Darren Grey

Colour coding

How about colorcoding the background according to release status. Red = Alpha / Yellow = Beta / Green = Stable. (Well, have to see what it looks like first ;-) PaulBlay
