I'd take Kshitiz's offer up. I don't see myself starting myself back on this till around August 10.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Hmm. Kshitiz, could you send a copy of your sim to all of us PCPL/PCCLers?

 

[treva]

Yeh, would be handy to test it out.

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

Its at Cricket Sim 09

I've covered most points relating to it being a BETA in that post there so PLEASE read it fully and take care. Also the program isn't noob proof at all at the moment, no. You'll have to be a bit careful, but I'm sure you can!

The key is testing out gameplay elements, pacing and get feedback relating to it. Make realistic teams with realistic abilities.


Good luck and I would be appreciating feedback, not to hijack sohum's thread so if anyone has anything to say I'd be glad to have you open a new thread!

Credits go to sohum and AbBh.

Kshitiz and Sohum,When I get hang of Java,will you guys allow to me to port this program to Linux.

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

Sorry, as far as I know about sohum, they're closed source applications.

Sorry to hear that.Anyways I wont start it right now.I am planning to start making one in Java in April-May.

Kshitiz, you can release your code if you want. After all, my code wasn't licensed when I gave it to you (and still isn't ). Just put me in the credits somewhere so that if PCCS isn't completed I'm not completely forgotten.

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

Nah I have no intentions of releasing the source code myselves, although whenever Cricket Sim 09 gets released, you'll be credited [even in my project report!].

Damn, splitting the application to make it multi-threaded is harder than I planned.

LOL Why did you have to make it multi - threaded? Its not a resource eater?

So that my UI remains active while simulation is happening. And also its never good practice to do large calculations in the UI thread.

Yeah that is fine but you could just sim it all once and then make the UI show ball by ball from a stored location? Simming should take max 3-4 seconds at most shouldn't it? Or you've put in complex calculations?

Simming a T20 game will take that long, but OD's and FC's will take a lot longer. Besides "simming it all at once" doesn't make sense because your UI would be unresponsive while it was doing that task.

Anyways, I've figured it out. Now the simulation runs in its own threads and all the UI components (scorecard, ball-by-ball, commentary) will be running in the UI thread performing their updates whenever they get data.
