[Suggestion] Groove Radar on SM & DWI Parser

[Jubo]

Is that possible to implement it?

Sometimes, seeing the Groove Radar (I think it is called that) determines the difficulty of the dufficulty.

I don't now if .dwi haves this but I .sm haves that stats about the radar.

If you don't what is it, for the people does not know. Is the one with a pentagon shape and shows how much jumps, freeze, etc...

This sounds like a reasonable idea, although it would be fairly useless to keyboard players (stream and voltage are always maxed, as is chaos if BPM is doubled, all you really get to know is whether air/freeze is common or not)

I don't really see it being THAT unreasonable, but then again, not many people use groove radar statistics as a very accurate measuerments of simfile difficulty. Also, like Patashu said, lots of keyboard authors write simfiles that exceed the normal measurements of the groove radar system.

I guess it could work if it were to be implemented for pad simfiles only.

I had actually considered this myself, and I might eventually do it, but I find that the metrics at the bottom give some useful information about the same things the groove radar would. And also, part of the advantage of having 'stream' etc. available in a groove radar on ddr is that you can't see the entire chart up front, but here you can, so it's easy to see what kind of stream/voltage/etc to expect.
