It gets to be a hassle to update your info every time u make a change

I don't know if this is even feasible. The saved data is probably stored somewhere where the web browser would not be able to access it. You could look into it if you really wanted to but I highly doubt this would be doable.

No i mean the app itself not the web game

DarthMDev commented 8 years ago

The one on the app store

I know what you mean. The calculator is on your browser, the game is an app. It's likely not possible for the browser to access your app, if it could, there would be huge security flaws and it would be really easy to cheat in the game by just changing the value of how much of an investment you have.

What about if u guys made an android or an ios app

Still, would not be able to access the games save file, AFAIK it is exclusive to the game.

There are apps with similar functionality for things like Pokemon Go where it's implemented as a screen overlay (think Facebook messenger on Android). These apps read the screen and auto-input the numbers into the calculator.

While possible, this is definitely a TON of work - especially considering that the app itself doesn't respect the orientation setting of the phone (so you'd have to OCR for portrait and landscape mode since you have no idea what mode it will be in). And then you have to support an app on Android and iOS, which is even more work.

This just really isn't very feasible, unless you play the game on a simulator or mirror your device to your computer, and even then, that would probably take a good deal of work.

Eh.

NicholasRBowers is right. If you take the other game from Niantec, Ingress. There is a project called Agent-stats. Ingress enables the user to take screenshots of the stats. Agent-Stats has made an option to OCR-read the image and implement the data. So if you take a screenshot of the AC game (in landscape) it should be possible to "read" the information and import this. (however for upgrades and AI you need backward calculations
