Madtown Scouting App Update

[synth3tk]

ZOMFG I LOVE THE SIR COMMUNITY!!!!!! Sorry, I had to say it.

Anyway, I know that for the last few years, Buckeye had a WLAN configured and allowed multiple team-based networks. Obviously, because of the technical aspects, I don't think any regionals will be allowing it, at least for this first year of testing.

I plan on bringing a router just in case, but I'm not breaking any rules if they decide against it.

I had another approach for a scouting application that would allow for cross platform network use. Setting up a web server would allow any device that has a browser to be able to scout. Sometimes settings up a web server with a data base and all can be difficult or bulky on smaller systems, so instead a simple one click application could be made. Use html for the form and to view the data, and the application can handle the database. A scouting html page could be distributed or you could make your own. Or a client application could be used. A networked program would be the most convenient because you could have a laptop in the pit to view the data real time, and all your data is centralized.

Of course if use your own wireless network is not allowed it wouldn't happen. In previous years we have found that having all the scouting data in the pits for the drive team is extremely helpful, but we haven't really had a decent way to do it.

Will, that's looking pretty good, so far. Definitely keep us posted on that.

Also, how is the Madtown app coming along, comwiz?

He said that a major version will be released before kickoff that adds a ton of features. So I am patiently waiting for the new major release to upload.

I'm going to be finished with the 0.3 release tonight (I think).

Changes
- Analyze Button Replaced with Show Photo button. In preferences you set a directory that contains photos. The photos currently must be in bitmap format (JPEG support coming in the future) and named with the team number.
- View Data now changes the color of the text to indicate positive and negative results. That way you could get a good idea about a team without even reading the data.
- The team and match number drop down boxes are now functional. It is a history of numbers saved or accessed, not a list of files in the directory. This history can be reset in Preferences.
- Still working on remapping the Enter key to make it more logical.
- Save, Add, and Load Buttons are now disabled, enabled, and display the correct titles at the appropriate times.
- Other small bug fixes.

It mostly looks the same, just works better. I will release instructions or something later on. For now if you need help using it just send me a message or ask it here.

I'll start a new post with the update tonight.
