Digital Hockey

[tcsoccerman]

Let me know what you think.

 

A good program should not be hard to use/understand, thus i will not tell you how to use it. All i will say is it's purpose-to assist a hockey team manager to manage statistics, names, contacts, finances, scheduling, etc. Can also be used by fans.

 

If you have ANY comments tell me. I WANT constructive criticism.

 

P.S. Ignore the scrolling text.

your going to sell this for $10? or for a full team for $100.... good luck

 

seems good and solid... need to make all of the buttons work however.

also, i know you aspire to get the NHL teams to use this, but i highly doubt they will....

(or are aiming for local teams like little league... etc...)

 

also want to add that i thought it was a game... not another sports tracker

*I didn't check the program at all*

 

You'll need solid database features if you want this to be used by professionnals anywhere. I didn't check, but I'm guessing you use some home-made file formats to store data... You might want to check out SQL database stuff.

1. I'm not done at all, just have the foundations of creating, editing, and removing items.

2. Local teams + my family is big in hockey locally.

3. Fans can use it as well.

4. I doublt the NHL will use it as well.

5. All the buttons will work when i'm finished.

6. As for a file, i need a file that will store info better i agree. I need something to store strings, int, bitmaps (right now i load a file with a path that is saved), and maybe songs that players like to play after a goal?

I got an error when starting it.

 

[tcsoccerman]

ok...let me think

 

i've never tested it on vista so that could be the problem.

make sure the executable and .dll's that came with it are in the same location when u start it.

 

that's really all i can think of..sorry. i'm not very good about os troubleshooting.

[rootbear75]

i have vista... it worked fine for me... which version are u running?

[»Purge]

actually, that's just Windows XP Professional in a Vista theme.

 

tc, all of the files that came in the .zip are in the same directory.

 

root, I'm running whatever version he posted here.

[tcsoccerman]

Ok..lets see

 

i !@#$%^&*umed before that you have the .net framework version 2.0 installed...make sure that !@#$%^&*umption is correct.

root, I'm running whatever version he posted here.

i meant OS version (Home Basic, Home Prem, Business, Ultimate, Enterprise... etc..)

but u answered that above

[»Purge]

yes, I have .NET framework installed.

[tcsoccerman]

version 2.0? maybe it's currupt?

[Samapico]

You should add some error catching and build a debug version... that way, error reports will contain the call stack and the line where it crashed

[tcsoccerman]

i should

I'm getting back on track with this. I'd like to get the gamerecorder done, but i am having some trouble with the user interface on this.

 

The gamerecorder will be used either during a game or after a game to record events in a game. It will have the basic scoreboard in the window(time, scores, penalty's, shots on goal and period). This will obviously only be used DURING the game but it is very useful as when you need information such as time and period in an event, it will autofill it for the user using the scoreboards information. It will also have a listview (detailed) of all the events that have been recorded so far.

 

To record an event the user must somehow select a player to record about. Let's give an example of a goal scored by Steve Yzerman.

 

The user would somehow select Steve Yzerman, than start recording the event. Here's some things to record.

Just so you know there are 4 different events (subs!@#$%^&*ution, shot on net (expands to goals and saves), penalty, injury)

 

All-We need basic info such as period, time, player being recorded about.

 

Subs!@#$%^&*ution-who is coming out, who is coming in. Feature for a whole line subs!@#$%^&*ution has potential

 

Shot-This is the biggest event. we have shot location (user clicks on a picture of an ice rink). If the shot did not miss... goalie who is shot on and wether that goalie saved it or not. wether the shot was a 1v1 (breakaway) shot. maybe wether the goalie was screened etc. Then if the shot goes in...who !@#$%^&*isted, was it powerplay, un!@#$%^&*isted, or shorthanded goal, etc.

 

Penalty-penalty call, penalty time, major or minor, against whom. if there is an injury go record injury data.

 

Injury-What hurts, who is injured, in game anymore?, purposeful injury?

 

See spoiler to see my point of view. Please wait till you've thought about it though.

 

Spoiler! --Click here to view--

The current setup i have is procedural. It has to do with exchanging groupbox's.

 

So we have a scoreboard groupbox to start off. When the user wants to start recording an event, the scoreboard leaves and the "select what type event it is" groupbox slides in. here the user selects either sub, goal, penalty, or injury. then the "basic" groupbox slides in. This gets information such period, time, as described above. it then continues on in getting information about the event. it makes sure to get information in the right order too. before the "goal scored" groupbox we must have the "shot on goal" groupbox. that's mostly common sense.

 

Your opinion is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

I've got an ugly version of the gamerecorder done. It is as i described in the spoiler above.

 

If any of have enough time could you look at it and tell me what you think?

 

You need .NET Framework 2.0 (and anything above should work).

 

Download and extract the attached .zip.

Create a team with at least 1 player.

Open the team and go to Tools->GameRecorder in the toolstrip menuitem.

Double Click a player and then try the 4 different game events. Make sure to try different things, especially on the shot event (check "On-Net");

 

Thank you ahead of time.

New Feature added:Team email

 

Team email allows you to email selective people or grouped people (staff, players, scouted players). You can choose to attach files as well (team file or last game .txt). (Note:the "choosing" of attachments isn't completed. it always has team file attached atm).

 

To use it create a team with some staff, players, and scouted players and check the ones to email.

 

This uses digitalhockeymessenger@gmail.com to send messages.

 

Also gamerecorder has made some minor progress.

 

New icons as well.

Digital_Hockey.zip

[tcsoccerman]

team email improved.

 

double click on files and they will open digital hockey with that file opened, rather than just opening digital hockey.

 

browse for files that aren't in the "team manager organization" (such as files in the desktop)

 

saving system redone! saving is binary rather than text. this allows you to save images to the file, rather than saving an image path. this completes the email feature (the image path rather than image binary ruined it sorda).

 

i'm trying to implement a "save as" button. do you think it would be ok to do an icon that is similiar to "save", but with two green arrows. are the icons not distinguishable enough?

 

thanks again..

Another update can be downloaded on sourceforge : here.

 

I've added player printing, which prints their image, information, selective statistics, and shots on net.

 

All game and game event data is saved onto file.

 

View statistics with stat viewer.

 

Game Recorder closer to finish, but still not very good looking.

 

Now you install the program, rather than unzipping a .zip.

 

Please point anything out that does not seem right, such as a bug, mistake, glitch, unfinished part, etc.

 

Edit:I'd rather you download from sourceforge, but if you are lazy i've attached the installer.
