Achievements

[eatnumber1]

We need to port the achievements system over from bingehack.

[clockfort]

Demos is working on the integration in-game, I've been working on a new API. (Most of the read-only calls are already done... https://github.com/clockfort/achievements-api2/blob/master/docs/API.md)
I need to put a system for doing authenticated updates from apps, which I haven't yet, and maybe make some nicer-looking ways to interact with the data for anyone who wants to build off the API.

Hey @stphndemos how far did you get with this? We're starting up weekly active dev again, and I/someone will be pushing in DB-touching code soon.

[sdemos]

I got most of the hooks done I'm pretty sure. I don't remember how far I
got before I left. I haven't touched it since the end of the school year
and now I'm in the middle of the woods for several weeks.

Hey @clockfort did you finish the achievements database? I was about to squash all my achievements commits together because all (well, most) of the achievement hooks are done, and I realized that I had never actually made a working achieve.c file, just a skeleton for compiling. I suppose I should figure out how your database works and write an achieve.c that uses it and then actually test all of the achievements. Unless you already wrote one. I stuck with all of the same functions as bingehack.

I have written and done nothing and I'm a terrible person

You can either use:

• My JSON REST API for achievements (not guaranteed to have enough API calls to finish your work necessary to do this) https://github.com/clockfort/achievements-api2/blob/master/docs/API.md
  ... but I can keep devving it if you want to do things properly. It's actually in a place where I did all the hard work in Haskell to do bullshit type conversions between SQL and JSON types, and all it probably needs is either nothing or a few more SQL statements fleshed out in the API. The code is actually absurdly readable even for people who don't know Haskell ( https://github.com/clockfort/achievements-api2/blob/master/src/Main.hs is basically the entire program )
• Or you can steal my old code in BingeHack 3.x for doing direct MySQL interaction, which should be mostly a copy+paste job, and Russ or I or someone that is good at C can help you setup library dependencies nicely.

The second option is way shittier, and waaaaaaaay easier. Since this is a free time project for everyone involved, I'm leaning towards that option.

[sdemos]

I actually might go for the first option because I am currently learning haskell, I don't know if that is a good reason or if it will help but whatever.

[clockfort]

shrug well, all of the harder type-system haskell is done for you already. So there's that.

Try standing up a achievements-api instance pointed at CSH's mysql; you should just be able to cabal install and run it, provided you have the proper database config. I've dropped a Config.hs in your homedir with the username/password/DB info.

... it looks like I never got around to finish the write-based achievements calls.
(You'll need the mysql headers to compile btw) (yum provides *mysql-config)

[sdemos]

yeah, I noticed that. I can't register new users. Oh well. First is to figure out how I can do this at all. Yay.
