Re: Coaches keeping track of score
Hmmm... making a 3D coach-practice thing could be a fun little project for my graphics course, or really good practice for anyone.
Just make a game that shows a board layout (in 3D obviously or else the rack-reading skills won't transfer to real life), and has the coach type in the score of the rack. Have it as a goal to improve day over day.
Something like this:
-rack is displayed
-coach must type in current score, best spoiler-placement location and best ringer-placement location.
At first it could just be single-layer ringers, but afterwards you could add invalid rows (double-red or double-blue), spoilered rows, rows that have invalid spoilers (spoiler on top of red and blue or spoiler on a keeper). Being able to judge that on the fly would be a decent skill to have.
Edit: Actually, even in 2D it would be useful to get the principles of board-reading done. Maybe I'll toss it together tonight after I do some graphics homework.
