Sim Sim update planning

[Mobbs]

BTW do you want some crediting back to you as the creator of the original Qooty?

Nah, if you're referencing Qooty as an inspiration, which you clearly are, then that's plenty.

 

[Barrybran]

I think eventually python is capable of just directly exporting the stats to a csv file

OMG yes please!

 

[TRUMAN#1]

So as an example with all this stuff clouds doing, a person could load the AFL, all the teams and their players into it..


And then let the SIM work out who won the premiership? could be a fun little experiment. (although it might not if it takes forever to enter the details)

Couldn’t you do that with Mobbs’ qooty though. Because it’s totally random.

The CricSim or Football Manager is probably a better sim to do this on, as it’s not completely random, and works on skill level.

Though this is what makes qooty so good. The fact that it’s total random, and we aren’t recruiting on player skill levels Thar players submitted at the start of their career.

Cheers, but I never really thought about this or even knew about these SIM's before I found this place, so I hope you can excuse my little bit of ignorance to how all this stuff works, and if things have been done already.

I am finding this thread very interesting though and commend all of you for what you have and are doing for this game.

Had a few spare hours today so had a look into the pygame module in python. Whipped up a start menu and got the timer ticking at least. If I get some more free time over the weekend I'll look into getting a scoreboard functionality and post my code in case there's anyone on here better than me at programming.

That looks really good.

 

[Mobbs]

Yep, just like Qooty could. The Sweet FA doesn't use anywhere near all of its features eg playing the entire season automatically based on calendar dates.

But it's also very old, ugly and limiting, and kbj Parker is hoping to fix all that!

The very first iteration of Qooty was a Commodore 64 program I wrote called Real Time Footy. I did indeed start this whole thing using AFL (then VFL as 1988ish) team lists.

Sadly nothing remains save for screenshots of the cassette case and unfinished instructions, and an audio recording of me commentating a part of a game between Fitzroy & Melbourne.

Reckon what we have is great too though. It gives us quite a lot.

It does a lot of stuff, but it's "clunky". I'm not a programmer, I'm just a bloke who thought programming was kind of fun to try.

Was cumbersome to get the user interface (screen) to read from a list in an external file and represent it but eventually got something up.

Firstly, the process of inputting new teams into the sim database is now done - though I'd to change it so that the inputs get written into a csv file instead of a txt file

Then allowing them to be selected from a list and populated with players which is partially done.

Copy of the code: https://www.dropbox.com/s/poyuqcgevjil104/3_DEC.txt?dl=0

Mainly focused on front end stuff lately but making some inroads.

This class when the functions are invoked in the main loop was what brought us to the screen that allows the user to input the teams and it stores them in a .txt file just like the 'player input screen' (although I've changed the player input process so that the players are stored in a csv file instead of a txt now).

Another class defined as SelectionMenu(object) is the screen that shows up when you click on 'Team Selection' from the main menu. That reads the previous inputs that were stored in a txt file into a list, then from that list it displays it onto the screen. A shit load of code just to do that so won't post it in here.

The very last screen displayed in this clip will be the place where I want to integrate the player/team selection process and allow the user to actually populate teams with players and create an individual csv file once a team has been filled.

I did a search around my drives recently and can't find it. I do think it still exists somewhere, but just currently unable to locate.

Enter in the abbreviation if its the team has never been populated with players before, any attempts to submit the team with empty cells or duplicate players will result in an error message, once the team has been filled with all unique players and submit button hit...

Subscribed. Interested to see where this goes.

Footy Fanatic FX is worth a look if you haven’t come across it before. An AFL career sim game that I wasted many an hour with. The old version was superior to the current version but I can’t find a copy of it now...

Oh. This would be the 2007 version. I think that’s when the seasons started from.

Would be cool to have a blank version for SFA. Or a current 2020 version.
