Impress Your Friends With Vice City Online Stats

Posted by simoniker on from the 500-miles-by-golf-cart? dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the unofficial Grand Theft Auto:Vice City PHP Stats page. This clever utility takes your stats.txt file from the PC version of Vice City, and arranges it in a smart-looking webpage for all your fellow gangsters to see, even adding detail and interpretation to a bunch of the info. Here's an example stats page generated by the site.

    So now I can look like a god in the game without playing it from the comfort of vi and a nice little php script. Thanks! Does anyone see a point in this? Kinda cool... but uh... easily changed?

      Troll? He's got a good point! Once I saw it was a .TXT file, I wanted to find it and fiddle with it in Notepad just to do it. I seriously doubt I'm the first who thought of that. (well obviously I'm not, parent poster beat me to it...)

      In any case, Troll is not how I'd moderate this post.
