Version 1.2 (November 2020)
This version has a number of big changes. The most obvious is the output of statistics into rows, which allows more stats to be listed. A new --pivot option still provides to old style if you prefer stats in columns, but you will need a larger terminal than the standard 80 columns.
The second big change is how ratios are calculated.
- Health and Armor are now the total health pickups over total monster attack points, indicated by the "/AP" (attack points) suffix.
- Ammo ratios changed to the total ammo damage over total monster hit points, indicated by the "/HP" (hit points) suffix.
To illustrate:
- A health/AP of 1 indicates the player can fully heal if every monster on the map gets one attack against the player, assuming median damage is dealt.
- A shell damage of 1 indicates enough shells to kill each monster at least once, assuming the median amount of damage is inflicted.
A full description of these ratios are given with the --about option.
