Cast

gollark: It *does* probably go against TJ09's **Grand Vision**...
gollark: I'm amazed it works at all.
gollark: ```javascriptfunction infoFromHtml(html) { // First, just strip all the actual HTML & get text const text = JSDOM.fragment(html).textContent; if (/.*will die if it doesn/.exec(text) === null) { return { type: "not growing" }; } let sick = false; if (/.*shell of the egg seems soft,/.exec(text) !== null) { sick = true } if (/.*hatchling seems sick/.exec(text) !== null) { sick = true } const views = parseCounter(text, "Overall views"); const uniqueViews = parseCounter(text, "Unique views"); const clicks = parseCounter(text, "Clicks"); const timeResults = /.*in: ([0-9]+) days (and ([0-9]+) hours)?/.exec(text); const days = parseInt(timeResults[1]), hours = parseInt(timeResults[3]); const type = getCapture(text, /.*Viewing (Hatchling|Egg)/) if (isNaN(days) || isNaN(hours)) { throw new Error("Either days or hours are now invalid; has DC's format changed?"); } return { views, uniqueViews, clicks, type: type == "Hatchling" ? "hatchling" : "egg", hoursRemaining: days * 24 + hours, sick }}```
gollark: Without API access, going over everything on the scroll is *annoying*. The only reason I can process eggs at all is because I spent ages on some regexes.
gollark: Yes, that's possible, except you can put in someone else's.
