vrviewer

Intro

A - currently - simple application to workaround the sporadic unavailability of the mhssz site's competition tracker.

Build

To compile it to a runnable binary use the make target:

make build or simply make, since the default target is the build.

Afterwards you can find the compiled binaries under the /build/Linux|Darwin|Windows/vrviewer(.exe in case of Windows)

Usage

Once you grabbed your executable binary from the above-mentioned folder – or from the Releases section of this GitHub page – you can use it from your terminal in the following way(s):

Filtering for name(s)

You can search for one or multiple names by passing the names after the --names flag separated by colons (but each colon should not be followed by a whitespace)

Example for multiple names: ./vrviewer --names="your name,his name,her name"

Filtering for year

If you would like to search for a specific year you can do that by providing the year after the --year flag.

e.g.: ./vrviewer --names="your name" --year=2020

Filtering for competition type

When you're interested only in a specific kind of competition type (boulder or lead) you can filter it with the --type flag.

The valid values are: BOULDER, LEAD

e.g.: ./vrviewer --names="your name" --type=BOULDER

Filtering for competition name

If you would like to search for a specific competition in a year you can do that by providing the year after the --competition-name flag.

e.g.: ./vrviewer --competition-name="Monkey Power 6" --year=2021

If - for some mysterious reason – you would like to have some more information what is going on behind the scenes, set the DEBUG=1 environment variable in advance to your current command prompt, or execute the application with this value inlined before the executable file, like this:

DEBUG=1 ./vrviewer --names="your name"

Releases

Sometimes when I feel like to do so I'm "releasing" a seemingly "okayish" version of the current state that you can use if you wish. If there is a "published" release that means that version is the most stable and hence preferred for any kind of usage.

You can find the releases on the right side of the page.

Unnecessary excuses

At this point, the application has no graphical interface and not yet decided whether it will have or not. This is only for personal usage since I have no contact with the MHSSZ therefore if some breaking API change happens on their side this application may not be operating anymore.
