Hey everyone,
Today, I've decided to take a much-needed break from the code. I'm planning to spend the day unwinding, probably getting lost in some games on the PlayStation. But before I sign off completely, I wanted to share a few simple updates and changes I've made to a couple of the command-line tools I've posted about before.
Visual Upgrades for auto-market & claim-rewards
First up, both the auto-market scripts and the claim-rewards tool have received a cosmetic facelift. I've integrated the Python rich library to make the terminal output cleaner, more modern, and easier to read with better formatting and color. It's a small change, but I think it makes the tools much more pleasant to use.
Here's a peek at the new look for hive-market from the auto-market repo:
And here is the updated output for claim-rewards:
Spring Cleaning for claim-rewards
The other update is more of a "spring cleaning" item. A while back, I had bundled the claim-scot script into the claim-rewards repository since they shared some code. However, I was recently informed that the claim-scot functionality is largely unnecessary now, as it seems most SCOT tribe rewards are handled automatically on a daily basis.
While building the script was still a fun learning experience, there's no sense in maintaining a tool that isn't needed!
So, I've removed the claim-scot part from the claim-rewards repository. Since the shared code was no longer necessary, I took the opportunity to refactor the main Hive rewards claimer back into a simpler, standalone tool. This should make it even easier for people to use for its one primary, and still very useful, purpose.
That's all for now! Just a couple of small improvements I wanted to share. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think my PlayStation is calling my name.
Have a great day!
As always,
Michael Garcia a.k.a. TheCrazyGM
