Variables for Export
It is nearly unheard of for a commercial game to offer any sort of printed output or variable export function. However, most game players usually aren't handing in homework assignments (they're usually avoiding them), nor are they looking to graph and analyze the multitude of variables that they encountered during play. Outside the entertainment industry though these are normal occurrences and needs. Developers should provide strong printing capabilities (not just screen dumps), as well as allow the user to save variables in useful intervals or on-demand to a file that can be easily brought into Microsoft ExcelŽ or other leading spreadsheets and statistical packages.
