The Alamaze Turn Parser is a non-official, standalone tool written by a fan. It displays the Resurgent map and is capable of automatically updating itself by parsing the PDF (or HTML) turn results that are mailed to you. The parsed information can be saved and accumulates from turn to turn. It can also generate different reports based on the accumulated information.
The easiest way to get it is to download and run the Windows executable.

Hi all!
I just finished throwing together a script to extract some of the basic information from the PDF turn results. The output is in CSV format so you could potentially do some cool stuff with a spreadsheet or something. This tool is not finished; it has a long way to go.
Lord Diamond was gracious enough to share several PDF turn result files for me to practice on. After seeing the initial results, he was anxious to try it on some of his current turns. So, for good or ill, I'm putting my tool out there early.
I've put it in my Google Drive and am sharing it via the following links. If you're feeling adventurous, try it out.
The easiest way to get it is to download and run the Windows executable.
- parserGUI-2.2.0.exe Map/GUI (startup time is 1-4 minutes... be patient)
- TurnParserInstructions-1.9.4.doc
- turnParserBundle-2.2.0.zip (startup time < 10 seconds)
- RubyInstallationInstructions.doc (for Windows)
