This past weekend I watched the movie “The Social Network”. Although the movie has nothing to do with replay parsing, it did motivate me to put some more time back into my programming in hopes that one day I will create a bad-ass product that will make me a billionaire.

In all seriousness though, I have decided to devote more time to programming some of my side projects. It is amazing to me to see how far my programming ability has come in a single year.…

I have re-written the underlying engine in C# where it is much cleaner and more modular; that source code is available upon request. To see the improvements the engine has undergone, view the latest Replay Parser posts here: http://johnhforrest.com/tag/replay-parser/.

I have officially released the code publicly on SourceForge. Here’s a link to the project page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/warcraft3replay/.

The project was developed using Visual Studio 2008, and its current dependencies are Qt and Qwt, which I have installation guides for Windows on my website.…

A lot has happened this past summer, and here’s a quick recap on a couple of the major things that have happened in my life and related interests:

  • I got engaged to the most wonderful woman in the world
  • I began development on a version of the ReplayParser in C# (more on this later)
  • I worked as an intern Software Development Engineer (SDE) with Microsoft this summer
  • Starcraft 2 was released
  • My last year of university started (and its related projects)

The summer with Microsoft was amazing.…

I recently accepted an offer to work at Microsoft for a summer internship as a software developer. I will be programming in C#, so I have been taking the time to really delve into the language and get a good foundation. I originally wrote the ReplayParser in C++, so I’m in the process of migrating the whole project to C#. This will be a lengthy process, but hopefully it will drastically improve the performance (I hope to add multi-threading parsing capabilities and other advanced features that C# makes easier to do).…

Go to the project page for more information.

I’m pushing a small update to the parser today. I apologize for it being long overdue – I have been having some issues with the software I use to build the parser with lately but everything is back on track now and development will continue as long as there is interest in the parser.

Starcraft 2 Beta should be out some time this year so it will be interesting to see how it impacts the Warcraft 3 community. Hopefully the replay system isn’t too different than Warcraft’s, but there are always people out there making tools for games, so keep an eye out.…
