Select the attributes you want in a hatchling, then select the attributes that a pair of parent dragons have, then hit the calculate button. You'll get a detailed report that tells you the probability of hatching that goal hatchling with that pair of parents, and more! The calculator is a website, so you [b]don't have to download anything[/b]. It's easy to use and should work from any device. For more details on the calculator's features, see [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/3262734/1#post_54788278]this post below![/url] ----- [i][b]Why did I make this?[/b][/i] I plan out a lot of breeding projects. I also really like to optimize things. I won't buy a pair of dragons for a project unless I'm very sure they're going to get me the dragon I need in a reasonable amount of time; so usually, when comparing dragons on the auction house, I do some basic probability calculations to see how well they fit my needs. At some point I realised that doing all that math is [i]tedious[/i]. The point of the math was to make it easier to be lazy, but actually, it was work! Shortly thereafter, I also realised that there's a very, very expensive piece of paper on my wall proclaiming that I am a [i]programmer[/i]. Someone trained in the ancient art of [i]making computer do math for you.[/i] So naturally, I spent like 40+ hours automating the process. This is the result. Enjoy.

Tool Directory

...Yes, there's only the one tool right now. But! Emphasis on the "right now". I have plans to add more in the future!

Anyway.

Hatchling Probability Calculator

This easy-to-use calculator helps you gauge how likely a given pair of dragons is to produce the dragon you want.

In short?

Input This:

Get That:

You too can save yourself time and effort spent squinting at dragons on the auction house trying to estimate how good a fit they are for your project, or eleven forbid, doing manual math about it. Just click a few buttons and get all the info you need to keep planning!

What the calculator tells you: The probability of any egg from that pair hatching your goal; and the same for any nest from that pair. The average number of eggs each nest will have. A table showing the chances you'll hatch your goal at least once within 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, or 100 eggs; and the same thing for nests too. The chances that a single hatchling will have any of the individual desired traits - either of the desired breed, eye type, colours, or genes. If you accidentally picked hatchling traits that it's impossible for that pair of parents to produce, it'll tell you exactly what trait(s) are the issue, so you can adjust and try again.

Features: Takes every aspect of a dragon into account for its calculations. Breed, eye type, gender, colours, genes; everything! Provide as much or as little information as you want. For any trait you don't care about, just leave the hatchling field marked "Any" and the calculator will ignore that trait. Optionally: input a range of acceptable colours for any of the hatchling's primary, secondary, and tertiary colours! Just check the "use colour ranges" checkbox to show the extra dropdowns and make your selections. Leave any of the extra colour boxes blank, and they'll be ignored. Import traits for either of the parent dragons or the hatchling from scrying workshop links or the copied contents of dragon profiles with just the click of a button!

And there's plans for a few features to make it even easier to use in the future!

Bug Reporting

If something is breaking, the first thing to try is clearing your browser cache and refreshing the page. If that doesn't work, and you're on a modern, updated browser, then you may have found a bonafide bug!

Either shoot me a private message, write a comment in this thread, or open an issue on the project's Github page, and explain what the issue is in detail. The more detail the better. If you can, please also provide a screenshot of the problem. I'll try to track down the issue as soon as possible.

FAQ

Question: I have an idea for a new tool or a new feature; can you add it?

Answer: I'm open to any suggestions or critiques you have! Shoot me a private message, write a comment in this thread, or open an issue on the project's Github page, and try to explain what you're looking for in detail. There's no guarantee I'll implement your idea, but it's always cool to ask.

Question: I'm a programmer making something; can I use some of your code?

Answer: The code is currently an early work in progress, and is subject to breaking changes in the future. That said, you totally can use any of the code from this project as long as you include the license alongside my code, and credit me with the copyright notice in that file. The source code is here, along with a read-me file with more information; the documentation is here. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Happy coding!

[emoji=gust size=1] Thread is open for business now!

Minor Update

Tertiary gene Runes has had its rarity changed to Uncommon, to reflect the change announced yesterday.

Developer Plots and Plans

I'm currently in the middle of a big refactoring and documentation pass for the site code; nothing that would affect the function of the hatchling calculator, but something to make things easier on myself (and anyone who decides to use my code) in the future.

While working on that, I discovered an interesting feature of javascript - customized built-in elements. With that in my tool belt now, I'm soon going to be able to offer an interesting bonus package to supplement the fr/data module! It'll be easier for me to make new tools, and it'll hopefully be useful for anyone else making neat FR tools!

I still need to test the new module on Safari to make sure everything's working, and I likely won't release it (or fr/data) officially until I'm done shuffling things around and writing docs, but I'm excited about it.

Minor Update

Aberrations had a massive gene expansion! Now available on Aberrations in the Hatchling Calculator are all the new genes:

• Primary Genes: Boulder, Cherub, Clown, Fern, Harlequin, Leopard, Pinstripe, Poison, Ripple, Skink, Starmap, Tide
• Secondary Genes: Clouded, Constellation, Current, Eye Spots, Foam, Jester, Myrid, Paisley, Seraph, Spinner, Toxin, Trail
• Tertiary Genes: Augment, Braids, Contour, Fans, Firebreather, Koi, Skeletal, Smirch, Spines, Stained, Thorns

Minor Update

The new Flameforger gene has been added to the database! It should be available to Aberrations and Banescale in the hatchling calculator as we speak.

As always, if the changes don't appear for you, clear your browser cache and try again.

There have also been a lot of changes under the hood that just went live; nothing that should affect your use of the site, but a lot that will make development easier for me in the long run.

I'm also planning to make a more official release of the core code behind this tool soon-ish. My hope is to make things a little simpler for anyone else who's developing external tools for FR! I may make a new thread for that, though, just to keep up a good separation of concerns; this thread is for finished user-facing tools, not developer tools.

Minor Update

The genes Python, Morph, and Flecks have had their rarities changed from Uncommon to Limited, to reflect the changes announced earlier today.

If the changes don't appear for you, clear your browser cache and reload the page.

(I'm working on a feature that will reduce the likelihood that you need to clear your cache after a site update; more on that soon.)
