Highfleet fell off my play list, and this project went with it view full post

Since Hunt Showdown has a notoriously hard learning curve, I decided to use some stats to analyze my loadout choices for real ‘KDA signal’. And you can too, using crate kda-tools at crates.io, or github.com/jodavaho/kda-tools view full post

Over-engineering Highfleet load-outs using Integer Programming

I built a highfleet ship optimizer by bundling a fast C optimizer, binding to a higher level language, and providing a web API. Then, Altho built a front-end. Try it at hfopt.jodavaho.io/optimizer

This post is about setting up the problem. See related posts.

Highfleet is an incredibly fun game. You take control of a small set of ships, raid and pillage and revolt your way to glory. Along the way you must carefully manage your resources to keep your ships repaired, and customize them to the situation at hand. Lovely time.

Building a highfleet ship optimizer

Me and Altho built, essentially, a cogitator for your dieselpunk legos game.

Highfleet (koshutin.com) is a game by Konstantin Koshutin, of Hammerflight fame.

Radio communications, electronic intelligence / warfare, and strike fleet management are just the tip of the iceburg. It’s great fun, for engineers especially.
