companion app for openage #1005

Open mePy2 opened 6 years ago

The idea would be to share the minimap of the game in a companion app, in which you can highlight resources, enemies, pin strategic point etc. It’ something open, so we can put everything related to the game that could be helpful while playing it. (Stats, ally market and so on).

I like it; i think with an 'open api' to the game stats we could make this happen pretty easily - i guess it makes it possible to have a strategy app open on a second monitor, or an iPad / tablet.

From memory these things work best when stats are aggregated internally and pushed out somewhere from time to time rather than allowing an external app to poll

I like this and would be interested in tackling the app/display portion if someone has a way to pull the data out!
