A set of Python scripts (and now a web app too!) to help players of Love Live School Idol Festival
By Donald Burr dburr@DonaldBurr.com
This is a set of Python scripts (and now a Web app too!) to help players who play the mobile rhythm game Love Live School Idol Festival. Love Live School Idol Festival (SIF) is a free-to-play (with in-app purchases) rhythm and card collection game available for iOS and Android and is based on the Love Live! media franchise.
These scripts are licensed under the MIT License.
Because I suck at math. (OK, not really. I just hate it. With a burning passion. Besides, computers were created so that we don't have to deal with crap like this.)
You will need the Python scripting language installed on your machine. If you are on a Mac or a Linux machine, you almost certainly already have this. To check, run the command python -V at a shell prompt. If you get back something like Python 2.7.10 then you do. If instead you see command not found then you will need to install Python. For Linux users, it is probably available in your distribution's package manager; for RedHat based systems (RedHat, CentOS, Fedora) try sudo yum install python and for Debian based distros (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint) try sudo apt-get install python. Mac users can install Python using Homebrew; once Homebrew is installed, issue the command brew install python If you are on a Windows computer, you can download Python for Windows from the Python website.
All scripts are located in the command_line directory.
Usage: eventcalc.py [options]
where [options] can be one or more of:
[-H | --help] Print this help message
[-y | --year] Event year (optional, defaults to current year)
[-M | --month] Event month (optional, defaults to current month)
[-d | --day] Event day (REQUIRED)
[-h | --hour] Event hour (REQUIRED)
[-m | --minute] Event minute (optional, defaults to 0)
[-c | --continuous] Continuously updating display (defaults to off)
Note: event time should be specified in UTC.
Example: to calculate the time remaining for an event that ends on October 22 at 8 AM UTC:
$ eventcalc.py -M 10 -d 22 -h 8
Current time: 2015-10-12 11:21:37 UTC
Event ends: 2015-10-22 08:00:00 UTC
Time remaining: 236:38:22 (9d20h38m)
You can add the -c flag to create a continuously-updating display. This is quite handy to leave running up in the corner of your screen while an event is in progress.
Note that this script has some commands in it specific to Mac OS X systems and may need to be slightly modified if you're on a different type of system (Windows or Linux.) I have marked those portions of code with comments.
Usage: cardlevelcalc.py [options]
where [options] can be one or more of:
[-H | --help] Print this help message
[-r | --rarity] Card's rarity (REQUIRED, must be one of: N, R, SR, UR)
[-l | --starting-level] Card's starting level (REQUIRED)
[-e | --starting-exp] Card's starting EXP (optional, defaults to 0)
Plus one of the following:
TO CALCULATE AMOUNT OF EXP NEEDED TO GET TO A LEVEL:
[-L | --desired-level] Card's desired level
TO CALCULATE WHAT LEVEL A GIVEN AMOUNT OF XP WILL GET YOU TO:
[-x | --level-for-exp] Calculate level that card will be at given EXP
Example: Find out how much EXP you need to level up an SR card from level 20 (and 270 EXP) to level 40:
$ cardlevelcalc.py -r sr -l 20 -e 270 -L 40
To get a SR card from level 20 (with 270 EXP) to 40 requires 8175 EXP.
(the equivalent of about 82 level-1 N cards fed to it)
Example: you have 2100 EXP's worth of cards to feed to your level-38 UR (with 502 EXP.) What level will that get you to?
$ cardlevelcalc.py -r ur -l 38 -e 502 -x 2100
If you feed a UR card at level 38 (with 502 EXP) a total of 2100 EXP,
it will end up at level 40.
Usage: rankcalc.py [options]
where [options] can be one or more of:
[-H | --help] Print this help message
[-g | --game-version] Game version (one of: EN, JP, default EN)
[-r | --starting-rank] Starting rank (REQUIRED, must be >= 34)
[-e | --starting-exp] Starting EXP (optional, defaults to 0)
[-R | --desired-rank] Desired rank (REQUIRED, must be >= starting-rank)
Example: you are at rank 68 with 283 EXP. What will you need to get to rank 80?
$ rankcalc.py -g en -r 68 -e 283 -R 80
To get from rank 68 (with 283 EXP) to rank 80 on EN requires 23491 EXP.
Equivalent to playing the following number of songs of difficulty level:
EASY (1958) NORMAL (904) HARD (511) EXPERT (284)
At rank 80 you will have 65 LP and 23 friend slots.
Usage: gemcalc.py [options]
where [options] can be one or more of:
[-H | --help] Print this help message
[-g | --current-gems] Current number of love gems (optional, default=0)
[-v | --verbose] Verbosely print out when gems are collected
Plus one of the following:
TO CALCULATE NUMBER OF LOVE GEMS YOU'LL HAVE ON A GIVEN DATE:
[-d | --date] Date to calculate gem count for (MM/DD/YYYY)
TO CALCULATE HOW LONG UNTIL YOU WILL GET A CERTAIN NUMBER OF GEMS:
[-G | --desired-gems] Calculate date when you will have that number of gems
Example: How many love gems will you have on Christmas?
$ gemcalc.py -d 12/25/2015 -v
Today is 10/12/2015 and you currently have 0 love gems.
(Assuming you collected any gems you got today and already counted those.)

You asked for a web app, and here it is! The web_app directory contains a fully featured web app version of SIF Tools. In fact, the web app actually does some things that the original Python scripts don't! (yet.) The best part is, you don't need a web server to run it. You should just be able to open the sif_tools.html file in your local web browser and run it right on your own computer. You will need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser however. (Of course you can host these files on a web server just like any other website, if you happen to have access to a web server.) Or you can run the copy hosted on my own web server here.
The web app uses the following third-party Javascript libraries:
- jQuery (License)
- jQuery UI (License)
- jQuery Keypad (License)
- Moment.js (License)
- jquery.timepicker (License)
- node-sprintf (License)
- twitterFetcher (License)
I wouldn't be surprised if there are any bugs, and/or if I got some of the calculations wrong. If you have any bug reports (or better yet, bug fixes!), suggestions/ideas for new features, or if you need help using these (or if you just want to say hi and/or chat) please feel free to send them my way. Create a pull request on Github or just drop me an email.
