Stat Calculator!
For those who haven't heard about this already, I have been geeking out the past few days. It started with the question, "Hey, how much MP does Rufus have, anyway?" Thanks to this guy and even more to this guy, I ended up with a bunch of equations for figuring that out by plugging his boss battle stats (most of which are totally broken because they're BOSSES... but his are crap, so it's okay) into the model of some party character or another.
So what does Wei do with this information? She builds a Java program to calculate it, of course. Want it? Here, click here for Java files. FF7 Stat Calculator This represents about three days of alternately being happily geeky and wanting to tear my hair out.
Unfortunately, one of the things that was making me want to pull my hair out was finding a way for anyone other than me to run the thing. I still haven't come up with a solution to that one. The only way I can come up with is to run it in the compiler I used to make it. So... if you want to play with it, you can download Eclipse here. The top one on the list (Eclipse IDE for Java Developers) is the one I used. It's available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Open the files with it, then select "Run" from the Run menu, and it should work.
Incidentally, the answer to the original question is currently 566 MP. And I'll let him make use of those points in a tag once I finish my mod duties, since it just occurred to me that today is the 11th.
