Much like FIRST's Flash-based program, but with a few added features and full source code (in C#).
I wrote this yesterday afternoon because I was bored. Very bored.
Hopefully people will find it useful. It has all of the functionality of the Official FIRST Flash-based scorekeeper, plus the following features:
-A "Randomize!" button and slider let you create random rack configurations. A good way to practice strategy in different situations.
-A spoiler optimizer. The best location for each team to spoil is denoted, along with the resulting point total if that location were to be spoiled. Note that the code only looks at immediate resulting point values if spoiled, not anything longer term.
-Tube value indicators. The background of each tube placed on the rack is colored with an intensity proportional to that tube's contribution to the current team score. This is also good for deciding where to spoil if multiple locations result in the same point counts.
-Single executable (less than 2mb extracted) based on the .NET Framework. I am working on getting it working on Windows CE as well.
To run the program, you need Windows 2000/XP/Vista with the .NET Framework installed. If you keep your computer reasonably up to date, you probably already have it. If not, swing on over to www.windowsupdate.com and download it from Microsoft for free.
To compile the code, you need Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (any version should work, but the code was written in 2003). No extra libraries are needed. The source is licensed as GPL, so feel free to modify it as you want, but make sure to include the modified source wherever you distribute it. More details can be found the the "gpl.txt" file in the Source archive.
Any questions, comments, or requests for features can be directed to:

This is really cool! I was just trying it out for a bit (finally installed .NET to use it) and the interface is really nice! Kudos! I'll definitely be passing this one on to our strategy team!

Awesome program. I'm going to play around with this so much the next 2 months.

1. That is by design. Keepers can't be spoiled, so they aren't highlighted. The highlighting is meant to show desirable spoiler locations.
2. I realized that as soon as I published this. I never wrote resizing code. I should have just killed the maximize box 
3. Didn't think of that. Could add it...
