Source code for the Live Counting stats by /u/co3_carbonate
The Live Counting stats used to be made with JavaScript as it was more convenient. However, I decided to rewrite it in C++ due to performance issues with a growing database of messages.
Due to my lack of much experience with C++, the code may have bugs that I may or may not have noticed. Either way, inform me if you spot any.
This section is just a brief summary of what each file does.
main.cpp - links all the libraries (STL and the JSON library) and header files (all the other files) together; calls the important functions in int main().
json/json.hpp - this is a JSON library which is used in data.hpp to retrieve data from all the JSON files in the folder "data"
class.chat.hpp - each message from the retrieved data is stored into a class Chat, which is defined here
globals.hpp - all global variables for the actual "non-library" files are here, including a vector data of class Chat
data.hpp - defines function retrieveData() called in main(), which retrieves data from the JSON files in the "data" folder, and stores these data into data from glboals.hpp (note that the JSON files in the "data" folder are updated through a JavaScript/PHP script which is not present here)
stats.hpp - defines function generateStats() called in main, which links all the .hpp files in the "stats" folder to generate stats from the retrieved data and outputs those stats to the "output" folder
