This section outlines explicit conformance to Semantic Versioning 2.0.0,
and outlines the public API.
It also introduces a tag pattern for determining whether the solver
reflects the desired state of Fallen London.
The Investment-Minded Ambassador yields 80% of their former secondary
revenue, while the Tentacled Entrepreneur and Teller of Terrors yield
400% of theirs.
Zoological Mania's bonus is now saved upon skeleton declaration,
and used when calculating results rather than being added to value
directly.
Not all buyers benefit from the bonus, so this change better reflects
the actual game.
A crash caused by failing to specify Zoological Mania has been fixed.
Vake skulls now have diminishing returns beyond the first skull.
Menace calculation has been reorganized to accomodate the change.
Vake skulls are no longer capped, as the new scaling has been fully
implemented.
Vake skulls now have scaling implausibility, which is calculated using a
partial sum formula.
Implausibility calculation has been reorganized to accomodate the
change.
Vake skulls now have diminishing returns beyond the first skull, which
are calculated using a partial sum formula similar to joint addition.
Value calculation has been reorganized to accomodate the change.
This option lists enumeration identifiers, along with their string forms
for clarity's sake. This makes it much easier to blacklist things
without reading the source code.
A note about listing has been added to the Blacklisting section of the
README.
A dedicated action has been created for the list command.
This bug would have caused an error if BlacklistAction were used with a
different nargs.
The "verbose" argument no longer has a default specified. Instead, the
code that checks it supplies a default for itself.
The action for "--verbose" has been changed to BooleanOptionalAction,
which adds a negative version that may be useful for overriding
configuration files.
Balmoral Woods costs now take achievable quantities of Time Remaining in
the Woods into account.
Volumes of Collated Research are now acquired using the Übergoat statue
at the Hurlers.
Trembling Amber is now acquired using the Rubbery Men opportunity card.
Configuration files allow common arguments like --shadowy-level and
--blacklist to be saved and referenced rather being typed out each time.
ArgumentParser has been subclassed to allow more freedom when parsing
configuration files.
Blacklisting uses a dedicated action to parse arguments into enumeration
members.
Choices are not provided for this option, as it would utterly overwhelm
the help interface. This means that errors may not be as helpful,
however.
The README has been updated with a small section on blacklisting, how to
do it, and why you may wish to do it.
Options that were previously commented out are now enabled, since the
user can simply blacklist them instead.
EnumAction was erasing nargs before passing it to the superclass
initializer, which broke handling for arguments with consecutive values.
The help text for --desired-buyer has been updated to reflect that you
actually can specify multiple values with a single declaration now.
All scripts are now contained in a package named "bonemarketsolver".
The command-line interface has been moved to __main__.py.
The solver script has been moved to solve.py.
Relative module imports are now used where appropriate.
The invocation method of the CLI has changed: instead of running Python
itself, you can now use "pipenv run bone_market_solver".
The README has been updated to reflect the new usage method.
Spelling out what is public in each module helps to futureproof the
project, and allows the main script to import the relevant names without
contravening best practices.
Buyer was missing from the main script's interface, despite being used
to call Solve. This has been fixed.
In order to move remaining enumerations into other files, dependencies
in this file need to be moved as well.
The folder is named "objects" because "types" is taken as a name.
The curses module is not included with Python on Windows, and must be
installed as a package. The Pipfile has been updated to do this when run
on Windows.
In the absence of provided values, the script will use the "normal"
values for everything. While this may produce suboptimal results, it
could prove helpful for creating worst-case scenario designs.
All arguments are now enclosed in a single argument group to improve the
generated help text.
Due to how argparse works, this means that the script now allows
redundant command-line arguments like specifying the occasional buyer
and explicit buyers.
The grammar of the help text has been made slightly more consistent.
'-v' and '--verbose' no longer accept an argument, optional or
otherwise. Instead, they simply act as a flag.
This dramatically simplifies the help text and implementation of the
flags.
