Replay viewer for Halite 3, in JS (Electron)

Fluorine 🐢

"I got it yesterday, and it's already changed my life." — teccles

This is a replay viewer for Halite 3.

Installation

If you have npm and Electron installed globally (npm install electron -g) you can enter the Fluorine directory and do:

npm install
electron .

If you only have npm, and don't want to install Electron globally, I'm told the following works instead:

npm install
npm install electron --save-dev --save-exact
./node_modules/.bin/electron .

Finally, for those who use Docker, lpenz supplies a Dockerfile.

Building

Once the dependencies are installed (npm install), it should be possible to build a standalone application with npm run pack but for Windows there's also a pre-built application in the Releases section of this repo.

Other dependencies

• node-zstandard (gets installed by npm install)

Usage

Open a file from the menu, or via command line with electron . filename.hlt. Drag-and-dropping a file onto the window may also work. Once a file is opened, navigate with left and right arrow keys.

Thanks

Thanks to Snaar, Shummie, Ewirkerman, and Lidavidm for helpful discussions. Fluorine was developed during the beta phase of Halite 3 despite me not actually being in the beta, so I relied on them for information. Thanks to DomNomNom for the "monitor folder" feature. Thanks to DanielVF for an OS X bugfix. Thanks for Billiam for coloured logs and other enhancements.

Failing to start on Ubuntu 16.04

I have a report of Fluorine totally failing to start on Ubuntu 16.04...

in the terminal I'm cd'ing to the root of my clone of the fluorine repo, then running "electron .". But the command just finishes after half a second with no effect. I'm guessing a window should pop up, or something?

Anyone else experiencing this, or not?

Suggestion: halite plots

Seeing halite graphs near player stats similar like in the official web replay would be nice.

Besides that, fluorine is great, thanks! It seems like it's the only reasonable option for Linux users now (the official web replay is lagging for me and eats 100% CPU :o).

Monitor folder has issues on OS X

-- reports

Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined

When opening Fluorine, in 'dev tools' I'm consistently receiving

Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined
at fluorine.renderer.js: 3

npm -v -> 6.4.1
node -v -> v10.15.3
Ubuntu -> 18.04

Possibly related
Obviously this is low priority without an on-going competition, but this is just a heads-up.

Ubuntu 16.04 keyboard doesn't work

App doesn't react on any key press

Fluorine no longer loads latest replay on startup even when the monitor option is enabled

In previous versions (v1.2.4), starting up Fluorine with the monitor option on would automatically load the latest replay in that folder. This is no longer the case on master (e83d993).

This has been git bisected to eead1b4 as the first "bad" commit with this behavior.

Alternative formats for f-logs

Writing an f-log as json is hard, since it can't be appended to.

Since bots don't know when the game has ended, writing it can't just be deferred until the last second.

A format like csv (😢 ) might be a better fit, since new lines could be added as the game plays out.

Un-understandable installation instructions. Where is the releases section!?

I do not know how to install this.
I have npm.
I cannot/do not understand how to install electron
I may have installed electron
I do not know how to use this program
Where is the releases section for windows?

Halite 1.1.6 breaks Fluorine

When a newly generated ship collides with a pre-existing ship in 1.1.6, things go wrong because as of 1.1.6, the ship is given an ID, breaking some assumptions.

I am aware, will maybe fix tomorrow...
