A PC Calculator for IPCs

Very good!

I was able to cut out the map image and covert it. It is fewer pixels than for 1942 but this will likely not be important.

Do you have images for the nation insignias other than the German, Japanese, USA, UK and USSR images I already have?

The .txt file looks good too.

I just need to ask three stupid questions.

First, because the current code is a calculation of total IPC it does not include territories with zero value. There is no reason to put the radio buttons for a zero IPC territory on the map. The button function is to exchange ownership of IPC values. Is there some other feature to Global that is different than for 1942? If not I can just remove those zero IPC lines.

Second, what is the “n” owner in Global? Is that no owner but there could be?

Third, what is “nAllies” and “nAxis” owner in Global? Is this some alliance of neutrals? (Sounds like there may be a need for new code logic to deal with a complicated set of rules.) This will take more work.

Also, regarding your original observation about the capture of capital: There currently is no accounting for the loss of a nation’s capital in this code.

The question:
Would I correctly follow the board game rules if I have the nation’s IPC income turn to zero when the capital territory falls to an opposing nation? If the capital territory was liberated by the original owner nation or a friendly nation, it would again show the total IPC income of that nation. (program already keep track of liberated territory returning IPC to the original owner)

To be clear, this program just adds up a nation’s IPC total income from territories to determine income for that turn. It does not keep track of cash held by any nation, player.

The extra IPD conditions will require more code logic to build into a global calculator. I could give it a go but would ask for a commitment on your part. To complete the project I would like to teach you how to position the buttons correctly on the map.

I will take on getting the code working to create the buttons and calculate while you place the buttons. Would you be willing to spend some time on Skype with me, install an editor and let me show you how xaml code (the top of the image above) works to place the buttons on the map ( the bottom part of the image)?

@allister The download should be a file called “AnA_IPC_Calculator.7z”. That means it is a compact zip file so it needs to be unzipped to use. I suggest the free program 7-Zip file manager. https://www.7-zip.org/download.html Once you install this program and open it put this path: C:\Users(Your User Name Here)\Downloads in the 7_Zip path. Now select the "AnA_IPC_Calculator.7z file in your Downloads folder and click Extract in the 7_Zip menu bar. In the new window that opens, click the box with the three dots that is to the right of the Extract to: field. Here you can make a new folder in our Documents folder and call it something like “AnA_Calculator” and click OK and again OK. This will extract the zip file into your new folder. Now use File Explorer to navigate to your new folder and one of the new files will be called “AxisAndAlliesCalculator.exe”. Double clicking that file will start the program running with the map window open. Hope this helps. This does not work for Pacific 1940, sorry.
