Well, I tried to do this in Python (actually I just
tried to export to text format all the bad/very bad decisions of an anlyzed
match/session) and I gave up : no documentation, strage behaviors,
bugs, Windows specificities ... I just do it manually : run through
the match, export errors.
I don't think coding the feature in C would be a big
pain ... I would even say that the right thing to do is to create an
(optional) error rdb (every time a match is added to the players rdb,
the errors are optionally added to the error db). Then, a simple
command would allow the user to fetch one error according to various
criteria (random, chequer or cube, etc).
