\"PersonaCalculator\"<\/p>\n

Here it is now, the Persona 3 FES calculator, which allows you to either enter your current status in Persona 3 FES by hand or import the information from a saved game, and then use it to calculate if you are able to fuse a certain Persona (in possibly several steps) from the Persona you already own. The download link is http:\/\/www.mehm.net\/download\/P3FESCalculator.zip<\/a> (requires the .net framework 3.5 SP1<\/a> to run). See the bottom of the original article<\/a> for an overview of the posts relating to it.<\/p>\n

The last phase was all about the finishing touches, making some nicer styles in WPF, fixing some bugs and validating user input and so on. I left some nice-to-haves out, for example I was thinking of grouping the Persona in the user database window by their Arcana, but after looking up how this can be done (see this article<\/a>) I decided against it.<\/p>\n

Also interesting was writing a .chm help file for the first time. I used the HelpMaker editor by vizacc<\/a>, which was quite nice. The only drawback was that in the current version, adding hyperlinks doesn’t seem to work. But since it’s for free (compared to the $ 1K\u00c2\u00a0 Adobe charges for RoboHelp, for example), you won’t find me complaining.<\/p>\n

Now, what did I get from this project? It’s in the end a very obscure tool. Maybe it could be made more general by being able to choose the game if the other Persona games have similar mechanisms. For me, it was a good experience since this is the first project created in my “free time” I pushed on to finishing, past the point where it was already running sufficiently well and to a point where I thought it might be ready to publish it for a larger audience. My plan is now to apply this perseverance to some other “after work” projects I have piled up, starting with the XNA game I posted about.<\/p>\n

The source code of the tool will be released at some later point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
