edited, spellchecked and formatted versions of billyc999's database sheets

/// tl;dr: i'm in the process of editing and spell-checking billyc999's excellent spreadsheets and i'm re-uploading the finished ones in this thread for now. final edited SNES spreadsheet ready for download///

 

hey all,

 

i am using billyc999' excellent spreadsheets containing all the metadata (like scores, #players, a short description etc) for my "polygon" game themes. here is a link to his github site ( https://github.com/billyc999/Game-database-info ) in case you don't know what i'm talking about.

 

In the process i noticed that there are a lot of small misspellings and grammatical mistakes for the game descriptions so i took it upon myself to auto correct most of (maybe even all of) them by using MS-Office's as well as google-doc's spellcheck features. Common mistakes were things like "it's / its", "players / player's", "they're / their" etc. as well as sentences without proper spacing between them, like "...running into enemies all around!Along the way...".

 

i also edited all game descriptions that were unnecessarily long (resulting in a wall of text with mostly useless information) to shorter versions, containing only the necessary information. i find those shorter compact information panels much more enjoyable to read.

 

Finally i formatted the spreadsheets itself giving each column a proper headline, colored it in and froze the first row and column to provide easier distinction and navigation through the spreadsheet.

 

 

As with my theme, i started on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System spreadsheet first and this the first one that is publicly available for you to download if you so wish. more to come as i work on them, but as the snes one alone took 8+ hours to finish, updates with new sheets may take a while.

 

 

here is the link to my google drive folder containing the final sheets:

let me know if there is anything wrong or i made some obvious mistakes myself.

 

hope you all have a good one.

cheers
