What is IkaWorld

IkaWorld contains a database of all Islands within each Ikariam world. Allowing users to search islands by name or coordinates for resource or wonder information.

Particularly useful for finding members that have posted their island name on the forums, where coordinates are not permitted.

Additionally IkaWorld allows users to link directly to their island result by selecting their game server and domain. The links will add the island details to the URL and is a fast and safe method of getting to islands.

How to use

Using the Ikariam Island Lookup is simple. Either, enter the islands name in the "Island Name" input box, or specify the islands X and Y coordinates using the two drop-down list boxes and click Search.

If you enter an islands name, it will override the search for coordinates, so ensure the name field is clear before attempting to search by coordinates.

It is also possible to search by including the island name or coordinates within the URL; like either of the below examples:
.../index.php?search=true&islandX=16&islandY=51
.../index.php?search=true&islandName=Tageos

Ensure to include the search=true variable into the URL; followed by either the islandName or islandX and islandY.

IkaWorld Simple-quary

For those that wish to build more specific tools based on the data within IkaWorld. A simpier and more automation friendly page has been created.

Ika-world quary provides a much smaller return page, along with XML formatted data for faster parsing.

Upcomming Changes

Somethings I intend to add in the near future.

Bug report ?
In the game X and Y coordinates range from 1 to 100 (ex: Swymyos[10:100]). In Ikaworld the line and the column 100 are missing. Similarly "IkaWorld Simple-Quary" returns an error for the islands with X or Y equals 100.

Yes; that is an improvement I should make to the database, I don't believe it would take all that long, the only issue would be those that already use the indexed version, so I expect changing it now would not be such a good idea.

ikaWorld XML Output:Resource, Wonder and what they correspond to:

    Resource/Luxury Good
  • 1 = 'Wine'
  • 2 = 'Marble'
  • 3 = 'Crystal Glass'
  • 4 = 'Sulphur'
    Wonder
  • 1 = 'Hephaistos` Forge'
  • 2 = 'Temple of Gaia'
  • 3 = 'Garden of Dionysus'
  • 4 = 'Temple of Athene'
  • 5 = 'Temple of Hermes'
  • 6 = 'Ares` Stronghold'
  • 7 = 'Temple of Poseidon'
  • 8 = 'Colossus'
(ikariam use one-based arrays in-game for these strings too) this is not a complaint, information for reference only :P

The IkaWorld query page now supports searching by Island Id.

Use the URL variable "islandId" to search by Island Id.

Some minor changes have been made to the page along with a slight adjustment to the order of data - those, if anyone that was accessing the XML by childNode position will find issues due to the new order - those that correctly used the node names will find everything the same. No XML tag names have been changed.

Any other improvement suggestions are welcome.

Okay; I'll add it as soon as I can. Maybe tomorrow, but I really can't be sure.

Subject: Re: IkaWorld

yeah for the XML version

my script that added the island resource icon uses a big ol' array to store the information. if i were to add wonder information too, the size of it would double and its already huge.
only a small portion of the data actually gets used, so being able to query your script and fill a small local cache would be cool. i can do it with x and y, but the island id is much simpler to get and nicer to work with :p

having looked at the size of my script just now, its not that much of a problem (about 20Kb) but it'd still be a nice feature to have imo

edit: i re-made my town resource script to integrate with ikaWorld and create the cache localy and im intensly pleased with it :mrgreen:

Subject: Re: IkaWorld

Yes, and no. :)

As in, yes it can be added, no likely wouldn't take long, no it wouldn't break any rules, no it wouldn't be banned :)

However, just to clarify, where is it you want the ID search? - for the XML search (I can't remember how that searches :P) - or for the GUI in Ikariam Library? If the latter - then it was left out mainly because I didn't expect many people to need to search by Id. But it can be added. I'll add it to my to-do list :)

Subject: Re: IkaWorld

with the friendly xml output from this tool you get the island id , would it be possible to add a search by island id?
i cant see that it would take long at all for this to be added, or is it left out for a reason? like it would break the rules/be dis-approved :?:

Subject: Re: IkaWorld

Nice idea; I often want Wine islands with teh Wine wounder. I'll add it soon as possible.

Unfortunatly, IkaWorld does not know the current state of the worlds, without some data collection it's not possible to know. Data collection is out of the scope for IkaWorld. Therefore; knowing which islands have the best level resources is impossible.

Thank you for your ideas however!

feature request:
Any way you could add a way to search by luxury good and wonder? So if for example I was looking for a marble island with a temple of hermes, I could get a list of all islands that meet that criteria. Perhaps allow a player to select a server and search by level of the quarry/lumber mill? any combination of the above would be great assuming they don't violate the ToS.
