I am programming a so-called "Alien Game" based on Billinger, Stieglitz and Schumacher in ztree. However, I am struggling to my NK matrix into ztree.
Does anyone have experience with the "table loader" function in ztree and can help me understand how I need to transform my excel/txt sheet and/or what the command is?
Thanks in advance already!
The table loader essentially loads a text file. Things to remember:
- First column corresponds to the table name you'd like to import to
- First row corresponds to the variable name
- Values are tab separated
- String variables should be enclosed by doublequotes
To give an example if you want to load some entries with number and name to a table called mytable
it should look like (tab instead of spaces):
mytable number codename
mytable 345 "Anna"
mytable 943 "Bob"
I am not sure about Microsoft Excel. You probably can save your sheet as a Text(tab delimited)
after you add your first column for the table name and first row as the variable name. I use OpenOffice calc and to me the easiest way is to copy paste from calc to a text file.
It is automatically tab separated then.
The easiest way to understand what kind of format you need is to create the table of your desire in z-Tree then use table dumper. Then you can compare the format you have and the format you need.
