Continued from [FVG]: Produced Materials:

So, we can discuss the menu here. :)

Code:

Left out for clarity...

Indents are for nested menus, the -> arrows are 'wizards', sequential setup.

==Edit==
Here's the plain-text version of above.

What's the difference between a single competition and a single game?

A competion consists of many teams, and there are seedings and finals. Consists of many games.
A single game could be called a single match. You just play 1 round.
You could also have a mini-tournament. Basically, it's a bunch of matches doing a simple set up (round-robin, around the world, #-loss tree, etc), not as big as a comp.

Re: [FVG]: Menus

FVG.com is the place-holder for the name of a game server we may set up at a later date. (Running open source software, of course.) It will take you to one of 2 places:

A list of pending matches/comps.
Your favorite web browser with the home page.

This won't be around for a while.

Re: [FVG]: Menus

What, exactly, is an exhibition?

Re: [FVG]: Menus

I believe an exhibition is a single game match.

Like with other sports, say football games, there is a season and exhibition. Season you play through the entire season, exhibition is one game.

Re: [FVG]: Menus

"exhibition" comes from the root word "exhibit". exhibition is a display of something, and in the case of sports and other games, an exhibition is a single game or match which is meant to display the skills of the competitors, and does not count for anything else.

an exhibition round is comparable to a practice round, except it would not be part of a competition.

That looks good. :cool:

I'm willing to go with that as the initial menus. If we come up with anything else mid-development, it shouldn't be too hard to throw in, assuming we do it right. :)

Works for me! :)

Maybe the music could be under a general "Options" heading, along with the controls.

No nested menus, I think. Quick. Simple.
*Resume
*Restart
*View Robot Stats
*Controls
*View Field
*Music On/Off
*Exit
It should be disabled in multi-player.
(Maybe we can get some music from ESPN)

Re: [FVG]: Menus

I have created a cheap visual menu that just shows how the tree of the system looks like when actually running through the menu. It's based off of afflictionblade's v0.3, and can be found here

Nice job. That makes the stucture of it very clear. :)

Re: [FVG]: Menus

very good HHSJosh :D

now for the final version, i think each choice should bring the user to a different screen with a background picture from the actual 2004 season. i have some good ones if we crop out the date stamp :rolleyes:

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 19:55.
