Salem

Nice, working better now. Can you add checkbox to multiply proficiencies by 100? That way it would be a bit easier to setup for raising proficiency levels.

Yeah, you can always do it manually. There's also an automatic upgrade though, and it works fine for me (and at least one other computer unrelated to mine), so I'm not sure what's the problem with the auto-upgrade.

I tend to use the mousewheel for that. The tricky part is that different mice (and mouse configurations) scroll by different amounts. Maybe I could hack the scrolling somehow to go 100 at a time always? So you'd just need to rotate your wheel two places to get to the next "level"?

It's not good at high levels without those features.

I wanted to add that, but didn't find it too necessary. Your proficiencies are pretty intimidating Is there really even a point in having so much?

That's not really the reason it's not a knapsack problem, though; it's just that the bound is the proficiency levels you want to reach rather than the inspiration to spend. The spent inspiration is, rather, the value you want to optimize.

If anything, the reason it's not is rather because the order of items matters, which is not the case in the standard knapsack problem.

But the order of the items does not matter anymore in the current system Their cost just increases super-linearly with their amount.

I took a heapdump in your knapsack.

I find it necessary for those who are trying to master skills or get the Lucky skill. People need over 500 or 800 proficiencies at some point. In my case i can just use this program for perennial philosophy. So please add this feature.

I've just released a new version and it has a solution detail window - just activate the solution (click it twice). I made it scrolling and stay on top, since I assume people are going to have it hanging over their Salem window.

It should also significantly improve the performance - I had to do a few things in a somewhat uglier way, but nothing too bad. In my testing, the time to find a solution is about half of the one before. It's much more noticeable when you don't have that many inspirationals, but it does help even for your scenario I have a few ideas to improve the performance of that as well, but it's going to be a bit more work.

Well, sure, I admit I was thinking of the previous system, but it still matters how you order the items between level-ups. And the issue that the relation between items and cost is no longer linear is at least semi-related as well. :)

Damn, I only got 3 fine leather. Too few for a new one. Now I've got to run around with this stinky piece of "dump"

Man, your work is too good. I abandoned my project...

EDIT: The only idea I'd like to see is to be able to set a difficulty (1-10) for each item. So i can tell the program how hard is something to get.
