Above is the onedrive link to an initial version of QootyPy

Instructions after download

- fill in the TeamSelection.xls spreadsheet with the names you want to select for home and away teams
- attempt to run the python_qooty.exe , this will hopefully work without needing you to download anything else.

> If this does not work then download python from Welcome to Python.org and try the .py file​

- let me know if you're still having trouble, you will probably need to download pip install, pandas or others if you're not a regular python user
- let me know if you're able to successfully sim a game and generate a commentary and stats file

Hey guys, I anticipate I won't have too much time to work on this for the next few months so I'm releasing an interim version. Not all the core features have been implemented yet but a few fixes include:

- instances of player marking their own ball is removed
- instances of player being subbed off for themselves will result in a note in commentary of them getting worked on by the physio or something
- clunky repeat commentary lines have been mitigated
- the final line of commentary indicating a 'hitout' in the 5th quarter is eliminated and replaced with 'Match Over!!'

- some weather options have been added, there is a settings screen where you can select the weather conditions for the next sim. It is set to 'random' by default.
- form calculation which will form the basis for BOG votes have been added -> end of sim will generate a form.csv. Will be refined in subsequent versions.
- interchange log has been added, a csv file will be generated at end of game
- a csv file for total team stats will be generated at end of game

Give it a test and let me know if the experience has improved from the initial version , provide feedback on any bugs you find and on added features. Thanks

Small update since the last version.

• the interchange log issue recording players swapping benches is now resolved ( attn Barrybran )
• you might notice some more quirky commentary if the sim attempts to interchange players already on the bench
• 3-2-1 BOG votes will appear below the player stats at the end of the game
• a scoring summary is now produced in the end of game reports

The only real core functionality remaining is the direct match-ups between players which will prove a bit of a hurdle, but other than that the rest of the code would be aesthetic issues.

Alright QootyPy Alpha v2.0 is now released which includes matchup reports at the end of the game below the final score in the commentary file.

This represents a completion of all the core features of the current sim that is necessary to replicate the SFA experience.

Next up, I will need to tinker with the form calculations for BOG votes, as well as the proportion of stats to scoring among other issues e.g. centre gets an inflated stats because by default all centre bounces will be roved by centre players.

Other more aesthetic features that improve presentation will need to be worked on in the next phase.

Another update, this will be the final one before I can put out a beta version which would mean something resembling the final product.

What's been added:

• when simming a game, abbreviations of player names will be shown on screen so you can see where players are at etc.
• weather conditions are now shown on the sim screen and in the beginning of the commentary file
• in the settings, the sim speed is now adjustable
• additional weather option added - total 4
• at the conclusion of the sim game, the app will go to a 'match summary' that shows the player stats instead of immediately going to the main menu screen
• BB code for forum-friendly posting has been incorporated into the commentary file
• initial reveal of lineups can now include jumper numbers if it is filled in, in the team submission spreadsheet once at the start of the season.
• Disposals for centre bounces are now distributed more evenly between the centre and the wings

Only things left to do:

• add a more diverse range of commentary lines
• sort out a more logical calculation of BOG votes.
