Simulation Kit : The Revival

[asprin]

Taking the suggestion of not tying down a player to a single tournament for the sake of overall statistics, few updates have been made.

(a) Addition of sub-menus




(b) Filters - add




(c) Filters - remove

 

[Pinch hitter]

These filters definitely helps when we simulate multiple leagues using same set of players list... Create once and enjoy simulating all kind of leagues...

May be I am asking too much here, but can we rate same player differently for different formats?... One player profile and 3 different rating according to different format...

You spoke my mind. I was about to ask you guys about ratings. As things stand, player creation would be a 2-step process. One would the base list (where only the player name, nationality, batting/bowling hand and role will be defined and will act as a bank)

The next set of attributes (ratings, bowler style, mentality etc) would be assigned based on tournaments/leagues. So when you start a new league, you first select a player from the bank (thereby avoiding having to create a player again) and then add the remaining attributes based on the format of the leauge (ODI,T20 or Test/FC).

Is that what you were looking for?

That will be cool...

If only the professors could have such kinda example of data abstraction! Ah, learning a lot with your work here.

Or when we first create a player we add the attributes then only as base and then add modifiers for different format something like cricket coach.

Haven't used cricket coach so I'm unsure how that system works. But it all depends on what the majority want. I'm fine with either way.

@Na Maloom Afraad @VC the slogger @Aislabie you all used multiple simulator, so you want to add here something...

@asprin

Please see if the following is do able:
1. Add a save or resim option after match simulation (only saved matches stats are saved)
2. Tournament setup - instead of double round robin and knockouts etc. Just add a number of games to be played for any given tournament. This will give the league manager ample leeway to setup any type of tournament/league

PS. Are you going to allow commentary lines to be added by users?

1. Will be easier for limited overs but challenging for Test/FC matches. Can't comment on it at the moment as I haven't reached that part yet
2. Actually yes, I concur. This is better approach as the manager can add the playoffs/semi-finals/finals in the match count as well.

Reg commentary lines, yes, that is the aim. Need to decide how to provide a platform for them to do so though - either via SimKit itself or an external page.

If I remember correctly it was like this
Suppose a batsmen is rated 60 in list A which acted as a base. He is more of a longer format expert than short format.
First class modifier could be between 5-15 range while t20 modifier could be 0-(-15).

Regarding commentary I think it should be external so you can moderate it or else who knows all commentary lines could be Lynch Asprin.

So this looks like it covers the best of both worlds - have a base point system when creating a player and then add extra points depending on the format the player is playing. But I'm thinking of making the base points non-editable once set (since it could affect ongoing leagues hosted by some another manager and this player turns out to be a part of it). Set once and forget. Otherwise create a new player if it needs to be changed/updated.

Commentary will always be moderated, cannot risk leaving it as it is. And I'll have 3-levels of approval for your userid

By locking the attributes we may have a problem, as sometimes a league manager have upgrades in leagues.
Maybe instead of everyone using the same player, every user get an instance/copy of the player on their own account where the changes won't affect the player for everyone.
