48 <h1>Introduction to YARRG</h1>
50 YARRG (Yet Another Revenue Research Gatherer) is a third-party tool
51 for helping find profitable trades and trade routes in Yohoho Puzzle
52 Pirates. It was inspired by
53 <a href="http://pctb.crabdance.com/">PCTB</a>.
57 The system has two main parts: this website which maintains a
58 searchable database of commodity prices, and an upload client, which
59 screenscrapes the commodity data from the Puzzle Pirates game client
60 and uploads it to the database.
62 <h2><a href="lookup">Market prices database</a></h2>
64 The <a href="lookup">lookup page</a> gives access to the uploaded data;
65 there is also <a href="docs">documentation</a> to help with using that
68 <h2>Uploading from Linux</h2>
70 The YARRG upload client uploads both to YARRG and to the
71 <a href="pctb.ilk.org">PCTB testing server</a>.
75 The current official version of YARRG for use as an upload
76 client can browsed here:
77 <a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/ypp-sc-tools/master/">http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/ypp-sc-tools/master/</a>
79 <a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/ypp-sc-tools/master/yarrg/README">YARRG README</a>.
82 To install the client, install the `git' version control system
83 and the other dependencies listed in the `Installation requirements'
84 section of the README and then run:
86 git-clone http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/ypp-sc-tools/master/.git ypp-sc-tools
91 this will download the code into the directory <code>ypp-sc-tools</code>,
92 and build the software.
96 When new versions of the upload client are released, you can:
103 to fetch the new version.
105 <h2>Uploading from Windows</h2>
107 There is not currently an upload client for Windows which feeds data
108 into YARRG. It would probably be straightforward to modify the
109 Windows PCTB v5 upload client to upload to YARRG as well.
