another stupid question....
i need to create a calculator of sorts, that takes user input like this:
Primary Magic: 279 75% thoughtful Harness Ability: 277 69% thoughtful
(except there will be aproxamatly 20 lines like that, each with a different "title" for the number)
and picks out each set : (Primary Magic: 279 75% thoughtful.... is 1 set), finds the corrisponding set in a database, or array, and calculates how much is needed to gain a level.
i don't even know where to begin with this.
i've spoken with people who have created their own calculators, but they are no help... one said he uses arrays, another says he uses mysql.... and another says he uses an excel file for the "database" part.
anyone have any ideas?
