I'm dorking around with Java programming right now, and have been toying with the idea of making a champion scaling program. .
Basically, you'll input the champion name, and the program will do all the math for you giving you all of the champions statistics for every single level 1-18.
Right now I've still got a very bare version of it, it only compiles one champions data (which happens to be Ahri), but if people are interested I'll keep working on it, and get all the champions data in it.
Any interest? Sound like a good idea?

Incorporate that with the webpage that tells you the team you are fighting and their runes and shit.
THEN have your program see the items they are buying, and calculate what you need to be buying to counter their shit.

That's actually a really good idea. Quite far off from my abilities at the moment heheh, I'm pretty brand new to Java programming. Anybody else into Java?

Java? Why not use a language that doesn't suck?

Gee I don't know, what programming language do you suggest I use to program on Android devices??
Yeah.

Droid? Gee, I don't know. How about Python? 10% of the bloat, cleaner syntax, easier to learn. Or any other language on that list besides Java. For the sort of job you're pulling here, you don't need a nuclear sledgehammer, you just need a large stick.

I'll have to consider looking into this then. Haven't programmed since I was 7, when I was programming with QBASIC. Fairly new to programming basically, so I picked Java because its "Universal Virtual Machine" properties were attractive.
I've heard of Python, I'll probably look at that first, thanks.

Java is a mess, but learning it would be good because of it's undeserved popularity.
But learning Python first would probably teach you better habits.

Aye. I say this as a dude that has programmed for a living for about a decade now, been exposed to a few dozen different languages, and taught about half a dozen to complete non-techie beginners, computer science graduate students, and lots in between.
