I made a simple program to calculate when your knights energy will be back at 100 again. A picture is worth a thousand words but a video is even better.
You can download it from the youtube videos description. Please tell me what you think of the program on this forum. I hope you guys find it useful.

EDIT:
I fixed the program and re-uploaded the video.
Interesting, but I noticed when you had 0 in your current energy it said it would take 24hours to get it to 100.
That would be incorrect as it takes 22hours to recharge from 0 to 100.
Thanks you so much for telling me. It was a quick fix. The download link in the video has been updated. It should be accurate now.

Oh and I used C# and XNA. I'm going to eventually make a 3D game. You can check out my blog if your interested.
A simple calculator is good enough, no?
Most of the time I do it in my head: (100 - current) / 4.5 (you can divide by 9 if it's simpler for you... you'll get bunches of 2h)
[it's an approx, but good enough for me :-)]
example:
current=67
100-current=33
100-current/9=3 with remainder 6 (= 4.5*1.3333...)
thus 3x2h + 1.33x1h
-> I'm good to go in 7h and 20 min approx
I just recently learned C#... well still learning it. I needed to code something and didn't want to start coding my game yet with so little experience. It wasn't really that hard to make. If you have any suggestions on expanding it to make it more useful. I'm open to suggestions.
not work for me , i have installed dx too, doesn't work , when i run the program , popup windows say not response, only i can do is close the program
i have win7
Can i get the exact words the error said. A screen shot would be gold.
Are you running 32bit or 64bit ?
While simple, its pretty cool. And for someone whose just learning it still has a pretty nice feel to it. I will not be downloading it because I dont really care about mist energy, but this may be something you may want to consider developing for a mobile device. Maybe have an increment decrement button on the side? For instance you go to drop down another level, you hit the decrement button and your mist energy goes down by ten. Then everything would change without having to retype it?
Also just an fyi, when using images that are not owned by you, you should put something about who owns them and where you got them on the image. While I doubt OOO is going to hunt you down for the images you cropped, its good practice to avoid issues with plagarism.
64bit , i can get screenshot , buy i am not english win7 , if you don't mind :D
Interesting.
In-game CE/CR calculator plx.
Bonus cookies if there's a running graph showing the exchange rate.
I understand what you meant about the graph. But what exactly would it calculate ? Would it just show how much a single CE is worth in CR ?
Could also just type into Google:
13.2 / 60 * (100 - X)
where X is how much energy you have now. The result is in hours.
As well as calculate the exchange of however much CR->CE and vice versa
Hi, I run Win7 with 32bit xD
I've managed to download it and install it, but everytime I open it I get an error message (this program has stopped working and needs to close) immediately.
I think it's a great idea though, very practical ;o
and it'll be awesome if you could expand on it to add in new features such as others have suggested that would make it even better xD
I've also taken a look at your blog and wish you all the best in your goal XD
I'll try my best to expand on it. Thanks for the feedback, really appreciated it.
Now then, as to why it didn't run. Maybe you don't have XNA 4.0 installed because it needs that to run. The installer should automatically install XNA 4.0 but in case the installer didn't. Download and install this.

i installed xnax40.0 still not working , same message , that win7 alway said about looking for solution , something like that.(as Squishat said)
is this program not work in win7 64bit?
thx
The program is for 32bit and 64bit systems. It just seems to be windows 7 users that are having a problem with my program. Have you guys tried right clicking the short cut and running it as administrator ?
EDIT:
I have a friend who has windows 7. so i'll see if I can get in contact with him sometime during this week and get this resolved. Sorry guys, this should be working for you.
I've been unable to get in contact with my friend. So I can't find out why my program is not working on windows 7. I doubt anyone is going to let me control their computer over the internet via team viewer. So until i get to a windows 7 computer. It's hard for me to help you guys.
I haven't tried this but would like to offer a suggestion. Would running it in compatibility mode fix the issues on Windows 7?
there is no compatibility option at this program
Any chance your good with programing this into a language an ipod could understand? it would be great to have an app that you can just glance at, at a moments notice to know what your energy is. Also for those who are having a problem with running the program. Its not windows 7, i just downloaded it and its working fine. So im not sure what the problem is but its not your operating system.
It takes 2 hours and 30 minutes do have enough mist do done dungeon.
The program I use is: date --date="+$(( (100-63)*792)) sec" +"Full mist at: %D %T"
Replace the 63 with whatever amount of ME you have.
One of my guild members, Collussus, made this. I get NO CREDIT for this application.

Can someone put this online so it can be accessed by browser... lol thx bwaha
@xxm3ch4n1cxx
Thanks, it's good to know windows 7 isn't the problem. I have no plans to port this to the ipod because i don't know that programming language.
@dancinjen
Well your guild member Collussus is a liar or your a troll. Even in the beginning of the video it says "A LatchGameDev Production" I even have blog posts about it when i was working on it.
@DarthLOL Actually a quick google pulled it up... why don't more people use google...

Would anyone be interested in an android app? I have been playing around with the idea for personal use but if more people are interested I might feel more motivated.
