I want to learn how to make a grid that shows who is online, their inactivity time, and if they're AFK or Online.

Can someone help?

OK, I have figured it out almost. The problem is that inactivity time isn't moving...

mob/proc
    UpdatePlayers()
        for(var/mob/M in world)
            if(M.online)
                src << output("[M] / [M.client.inactivity/10] - [afkness]" ,"grid1")

mob/var
    online = 0
    afkness = "{Online}"
    AFK = 0


mob/Login()
    src << "Welcome."
    src.online = 1
    UpdatePlayers()


Why isn't it moving?

No, the grid will update every time anyone uses anything.

You will need to make a grid and dynamically adjust the size depending on the amount of players online.

proc/updatePlayersGrid()
    //first, we generate a list
    var/list/players = new/list(0,0)
    for(var/client/C)
        players[C.key] = list(estimate_time(C.inactivity), (C.inactivity >= 300 ? "Away" : "Online"))
    
    //next we update the grids
    for(var/client/C)
        winset(C,"playergrid", "cells=3x[players.len]")
        for(var/i = 1 to players.len)
            var
                key = players[i]
                activity = players[key][1]
                status = players[key][2]
            C << output(key, "playergrid:1,[i]")
            C << output(activity, "playergrid:2,[i]")
            C << output(status, "playergrid:3,[i]")

world/New()
    spawn
        while(1)
            sleep(10)
            updatePlayersGrid()
    return ..()


The estimate_time() proc is located here.

Exercise #1: The code has been provided, but now you need to implement it. Make a skin file with the grid and alter the code to use this.
Exercise #2: Try making it so that you can right-click on a name to bring up options, such as "Send Private Message" and (for moderators) Kick.
