SimKit [DEFUNCT]

[Yash.]

Some suggestions :-

1. Number of hit wickets is a lot. I am getting about 2 to 3 hit wickets per match.
2. Add an option to see the commentry live? Can it be done. Currently, the program shows the complete match in just one click. Cant it be slowed down?
3. Option to rate bowlers’ strength. For example, Jasprit Bumrah is a death over specialist and will perform better with it compared to others, while Imad Wasim who is a new ball spinner performs great with new ball.
4. The way of choosing batting lineup is too tedious

Otherwise,its fricking awesome

lol, I'll tone that down significantly in the next update.

Yes, definitely can be done. I'll get to it once the simulator becomes stable and all the chinks have been ironed out. One of the reasons why I've made it to show instant results is because I want you guys to be able to sim quickly and post feedback. Slowing it down/introducing delay between deliveries will only make it hard for your guys to test it.

Ooo..that's a big one. Will put it on my "things to consider" list.

The way of choosing batting lineup is too tedious

Totally agree. Any suggestions (from you or anyone else) on improving the user experience on that aspect?

@asprin You can implement drag and drop methods?

That was initially my plan (seeing how it works in Fantasy Cricket). But I had problems using that when on mobile. I want it to be as user friendly on mobile as it is on desktop/laptop. It nothing comes up, I'll change it to drag-drop but that will be as a last resort.

This looks awesome, mate.

It's really fun playing around with the Simulator . Thanks .

How had you started with this ? Programming ? Would be good if you make some users understand, like me , who are new to computer language .

Not sure how to answer that. In other words, I don't know what you truly expect as an answer.

Would love too. Unfortunately, I'm as bad a teacher as it can get. I suck at it.

When on the squad page, you can ask to give the players their preferred batting position. The next time a person simulates a match, the players selected, would be given their respective positions. And if someone wants to change it, they can change with the current method.

A major flaw found. In iOS, copying text does not work directly... It is showing this. So you would have to implement something else. A possible thing is that you can show the whole text like an input field and then we can copy from it, for iOS only.[DOUBLEPOST=1510322140][/DOUBLEPOST]Here is the screenshot...

By Squad page, you mean the page where we select and add players to a team?

Aw damn! Don't have any iOS device at hand to debug. This might take some time.[DOUBLEPOST=1510322593][/DOUBLEPOST]

The problem in that method is that the formatting (new lines, spaces/tabs etc) will be lost when I put everything inside an input field.

Well, how does Photobucket do it? It shows a non-editable field for its URL, which can be copied by long pressing, then clicking select all, and then copy.

Since it's a URL, there won't any new lines/breaks in it. It will be a single line and hence works as intended.

I mean how would one step into the making of text based simulators ? What criterias need to be fulfilled ?

Thanks to you, I have solved the problem. Instead of using a text field, I will be using a textarea field. The formatting is preserved when using a textarea. Unfortunately though I'm not able to push my changes to the server (stupid SSH giving me some trouble). Will do it when that gets solved.

I mean how would one step into the making of text based simulators ? What criterias need to be fulfilled ?

- First of all you will need to decide the platform that you want the an application to be built upon (web based/desktop/mobile app)
- Then you need to decide on the programming language of your choice
- Then come up with the different, for lack of a better word, parts that would constitute your simulator. In my case, I broke it down to Teams, Players, Squads, Community etc.
- Design the database first. By this I mean identity the tables and its columns that you would be using. Identify the relationships between tables if any.
- Then build the UI
- Then make it functional by writing the backend stuff
- And so on..
