A Java application to track player experience using magnetic stripe cards.
For the project, I used a cheap magnetic card writer found here:
This particular writer came with a piece of software that would let me load all of the card data in at once and write it to the cards one by one.
For reading the cards, I used a cheap magnetic card reader found here:
These card readers are pretty much plug and play. They act basically act as an extra keyboard for your computer. To test it, open a text program (such as notepad), plug your card reader in, and swipe a card.
The left column is a list of all the players I have added to a local database. I scraped all of their names and ID numbers through a python script I wrote beforehand. The scaping feature will soon be added to this application.
The right column is for tracking mini-missions created by the moderators. These are also stored in a local database.
