I am looking for the programmer for this calculator.

I have no name, nor a better title.

The program came from someone here, awhile back when the game was new.

Program is broken down into Green screen / Red Screen with absolutes & probabilities on the the bottom, large bold numbers down the center 1-2-3-4, drag*drop unit importance. Written in C++ (i think)

I am thinking of making my own calculator (VB), but I like this one so much that I would like the programmer to add a few mods for me, (or if not jealously hoarding the code, I will make the changes myself!)

I am also willing to BUY the code (or just the mods) for my PERSONAL USE.

I think that this may be able to be done in JavaScript. So what I am guessing is that you want a program, in which you enter the amount of units you have, and it tells you what your chances of winning are correct? If this is what you want, I could possibly do it for you. And I would not charge you any money what so ever.

I am quite a competent programmer.

I just like the calculator I am referring to.

I want to talk to the programmer that made it.

yeah, it needs RTL put into it, and 2 hit battleships, and ARM defending at 3

Is this the calculator you were talking about?

I think it is. You can email him if that will help.

Yes that is the thread and I have tried e-mailing him (Captain Proton) in the past without success :( It is a good program but has a couple bugs as per the thread (AAGuns, SUBs).

Another very good program is the java-based Probability Calculator by the Unbeliever. It didn't have naval combat or bombardment but otherwise was very good. Check out the thread:

I'm going to have to make one myself it looks like.

It will be for AAR + AARe.

I'm looking forward to see what you come up with :) I think the roller you are using would serve as a good model.
