What is AUHistoryHint?

A new top secret program that I have been working on and if I am treated right, I will release it to the public soon.

What does it do?

You run the program at anytime of the season. It digs through your player's history files and looks for newsworthy items, such as a player's 3000th career hit, a no-hitter, a 5 hit game, a career ending injury, player of the week/month awards. Now, it just does grab items for the particular year for certain items. For instance, for 5 hit games, it will just grab items from this year. However, for no-hitters it will grab them from any year. It also grabs major contract signings, over a certain amount, it will grab it.

Then it goes searching for more information. It looks at this season and grabs this information: (Note, the minimum values are configurable)

It grabs stuff like:

If a team makes 5 or more errors in a game.
If a team scores 20+ runs in a game.
If a team gets 25+ hits in a game.
If a game goes more than 19 innings.

I am digging for more information that would be cool to display. I have a few surprises up my short sleeves.

You can also will be able to configure it to use the almanac or yearly CSV dumps to grab information. You will also be able to tell what information to use, so, if you are in April, you would want to use last years data, but once you get some games in this year, you run it again and you have updated information.

Right now, it takes about 5 seconds to gather the data in my test league.

Now, what does it do with this information?

Ah, good question. It collects it all and replaces the hints.txt file with it. So, as you are playing the game, you get hints related to YOUR league. Of course, if you switch leagues, you would want to run the program again to generate one for that league.

A Beta version of this program will be available soon, but the beta version of it will JUST be available to people that have signed up for my newsletter shown in my signature. Sorry, no Mac version.
