The "impossible game" thread made me wonder if it would be feasible to have a page showing game setups that have never been won. Probably not including hero/villain/environment ordering, to make the combinatorics less outrageous. And maybe just game setups that have only been lost =)
The interesting aspect to games that have no wins would be that you’d also get to see setups that have never been attempted, but I guess that requires you to create all possible setups.
Well, I've written some code for it. I'll try running it the next time I compile the stats and see what happens.
Anything interesting come of that with the May data, MindWanderer?
Unfortunately not. In fact, including it in the general analytics script turned out to be a terrible idea, because trying to track all that possibility space was massively resource-intensive. The script had to be killed, the data corrupted, and I had to cut back to using just the last 6 months' worth of data, at least for now. Only got it working again a couple of days ago. Fortunately it still seems to be generally representative of the whole--and might even be a good thing, as it's more responsive to the current "meta".
Oh no! Sorry.
I’m not sure if some data was lost but looking in lite and full video game stats the Sentinels only have 18 games to the Adamant having 2725 games.
Thanks, that's an error in my code somewhere.
Edit: Actually, it was a change in how Handelabra encoded the data. Formerly, when you played with The Sentinels, it would only specify if you used an Adamant member. If you used a vanilla Sentinel it just wouldn't specify. Now it does list the normal Sentinels. I wasn't expecting to see that data, so I only picked them up if someone selected the vanilla Sentinels team but then manually swapped out all the individual members for Adamant.
Yeah, I know it really shouldn't do that, but usually people keep the team together, and figuring out all the combinations of each possible set of Sentinels members was more than I wanted to deal with.
Is this project still being updated? If so, I was curious if data will be collected for the new challenge modes now available for the video game.
The spreadsheet still exists, and I know I've at least been logging games whenever I play legit ones. :)
It's worth noting a few team villains don't have challenge modes listed in the results. I can't remember now if it was just challenge or challenge-advenced, but it was a bunch of Villains villains.
Looks like ones submitted by form have been updated but from the digital version haven't been since 10/11/2019
The digital version changed its data format then, and I need to redo my code to account for it. I didn't consider it a priority at the time because we had a decent amount of data already and new games weren't likely to change the spread. Now that we have new challenge modes, I do need to take care of it, but I'm not going to have a chance to do that until the whole COVID situation changes.
O. M. G. Its been so long.
Did you know the Sentinels Statistics Project is still going? Still Accepting game data?
Did you know it has over 32,000 entries?
Did you know that i just spent all weekend coding a solution to get it out of the stupid potato GoogleSheets and into a Real database? Oh mommy, daddy, Sentinel Statistics is growing up right before our eyes!
Its not done yet, but!.. I need to write 3 more insert statement formats for 3 more sets of data, then all 32k can be uploaded to a mySQL server im hosting in AWS. I also have about 1/3rd of a resteful API in front of it to retrieve said data.
While I do plan on building a very limited front end, my React skills are pretty much crap. So! If you have any desire, I may be back around in a little while with some json schemas to you can use to start drawing data from the RDS to do whatever you want with it.
We’ll see. Lots of little bugs to fix still, but its going!

yo! 
this is exciting
Should add to this:
If you want to help out with the Front End, im planning a basic React web app, a node library for an SDK to go with the api, and maybe even a stand alone Electron “app” for use on desktop/mobile/ect.
if you want to help with those things, contact me on discord: lynkfox#4882 - you can find me in the Letters Page discord and Realm of Discord discord (heh) - feel free to toss me a message if you want to help out.

Let me know if you want access to the digital version data!
Does the sidekick app keep track of data like this? If that were an option, I would definitely opt in!
Sidekick has a link in it to the form submission, it doesn’t keep track of any data itself.

Hopefully ill be providing an api and SDK… (python and Node probably) if you wanted to make use odnthat in the future…
Also… maybe? On digital data. Not sure yet. This is at the momrnt mostly just for a better serving up of the user data
