Gaming

One day I was just browsing my Steam client (in case you're not a gamer, see https://store.steampowered.com/ for more). In my profile settings, I can choose what to display there. I seem to have a "achievement showcase" selected. It looks like this:

It seems, I have two perfect games having 100% of the achievements. Nice! Well ... which games are those?

That information is nowhere to be found. By googling some, I found Where can I see my perfect games in steam? in StackExchange. Somebody else had the same question.

As suggested in the answer, I checked out Steam-Zero - Steam achivements statistics script from GitHub. Again, no joy. It seems something in Steam API changed and no matter what domain I chose for my developer API-key, server wouldn't return a reasonable CORS-response making my browser refuse to continue executing the JavaScript-code any further. If you really want to study what a Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is, go to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS. Warning: It is a tricky subject for non-developers.

As you might expect, I solved the problem by creating a fork of my own. It is at: https://github.com/HQJaTu/steamzero

With my code setup into an Apache-box, I can do a https://<my own web server here>/steamzero/?key=<my Steam API developer key here> to get something like this:

Ah, Walking Dead games have 100% achievements. Why couldn't I get that information directly out of Steam?! Lot of hassle to dig that out.

Note: Steam-Zero works only for public Steam-profiles. I had to change my privacy settings a bit to get all the stats out.
