Web Tools

There's a small library of web tools that FortySixTen Studios frequently uses during the development process. Over time, we'll port them over to the site here and make them accessible for public use. We're not talking about anything world breaking here, especially if you're not a web dork, but maybe there's a small percentage of you out there that might find them useful. Even if there isn't, though, it still makes life easier on us to have them all right here.

Useful Stuff

MD5 Hash Generator

I often find myself in need of an MD5 hash when working in databases, especially when resetting passwords. Thusly, this simple little MD5 Hash Generator. Pop in the phrase you need hashed, hit the button, and get your hash. Quick and easy.

PHP strtotime() Validator

I work with the PHP strtotime function all the time, and I often get frustrated because it won't accept date formats that I think it should accept. So rather than trying to test my formatting in the code, I just use this tool to make sure the format I have to work with will work properly within the function. Plug in your string, and if the RFC 2822 formatted date you end up with matches up with your string, then your format is valid.

Fun Stuff

Being a dork and programmer both, I write a few tools to help me out with my leisure time activities, as well. If you don't share my hobbies - most of which involve games about giant robots - then these will probably be utterly useless to you.

AT-43 Scenario Generator

This generates random scenario rules for Rackham's awesome AT-43 miniatures game. The generation rules come from a set of cards that did the same thing - which I regrettably don't know who to credit with the creation of - and I just put them into a handy package here. I do plan on expanding on these eventually, though.

Battletech 3025 Unit Generator

A random unit generator for the 3025 era of the Battletech board game. The innards come from the tremendous random assignment tables made by Xotl on the official Battletech forums.

FUDGE Dice Roller

This rolls dice for the FUDGE role-playing game system. You know, because dice that just have plusses, minuses, and blank faces on them are a little scarce. Also because I can't put them in my iPhone.
