tweeter has an existing closed source product. I think I am the only one who has done any coding so far. I have been using python. At this time I haven't made any code available.
You would also need a connection to the internet in the hall where you use the software. Unfortunately, I think many sports halls would have poor mobile phone reception and/or wi-fi. A locally installed solution is probably the best bet (in other words, a desktop application rather than a web application).
On the other hand, you could have a online data store which would sync with the installed desktop app so you could do further admin tasks online, etc.
Hello everyone, I know that I haven't posted in a while. Anyhow, I would like to inform everybody about the current progress of the project. So far, I've been working with a few friends on the project. I've decided to change my mind and instead of making it open-source right away, I would like to develop the core of the program personally before releasing it as an open-source. My reason for this is that as I began programming, I realized I had many flaws and gaps of knowledge which I would all like to personally address instead of having a more experienced programmer giving me the solution, at least for now. Anyhow, here's a teaser! We are not complete yet, but fear not; Progress is indeed being made.
If you are an inexperienced programmer then you may find that an experienced programmer will want to redo a lot of your project as soon you release it. It would be better to open it sooner rather than later if you do not have any good programmers to help you through.
Software is now finally available here http://www.badboard.net All feedback greatly appreciated, regards, Tweeter
Hi all, latest update is that I've just released a new version of the software. If you have a previous version installed I'd urge you to download and install this new upgraded version. I developed the software on windows xp, and there has been some unforseen issues on windows 7 which are now hopefully fully addressed. Full details on the website, regards, Tweeter.
MrHoang, what's the progress with your project? I'm the main organizer for a club here and would like to give your project a go if it's ready.
Hello llpjlau, I'm aiming for a release date of August 9th, so it should be complete in 5 days. Also, I was wondering, do you guys want a touch screen keyboard implemented into the program, or will you be using a physical keyboard?
I personally will be testing it out on a laptop, so I won't need an on-screen keyboard (I think the lack of one will also save screen space for other things that matter).
Argh, trying my best. We ran into a few problems that stalled the progress a bit, but we're rolling again; we're almost done. I hope this isn't of inconvenience to you.
Not an inconvenience at all! Just very keen to try out your project. Thanks for all the hard work though
any chance you can add 2010 version? you might like to remove bin/obj dirs from source control as well.
I'm still not sure what you mean amleto. The code is currently targeting .NET Framework 4.5. Are you asking if I could add a source that targets an older .NET Framework? Also, I've been thinking a lot about the security measures that will be provided in the program. Shall it be under a trust basis where users will have the option to end "active games" at will, or should a password system be put into it? (Although I reckon that may be bothersome for the users)
I think a "trust basis" should be fine. Players on court will play till the set finishes anyway right?
You have obviously been using visual studio 2012 - your .csproj files are from visual studio 2012, correct? They cannot be converted to an earlier version (whereas visual studio is able to convert the otherway). Not quite sure how a software dev could be confused by what I'm talking about. Are you actually using any .net 4.5 features?
