perhaps we should bring some charcoal, grub, and baskets "just in case"? heh
fyi, i put a copy of the powling program in a place anyone can see it, in case anyone wants to look at it and observer scoring behavior. There are no bells and whistles yet, not sure that's even needed. Basic functionality is there. Took me 2 evenings last week to get to the point that its at now.
powling link
hit the link; add name, press ok; add another name, press ok; when all players names are added, enter an empty name (leave field blank and press OK). Cancel does what it says, so don't press that.
To start a new game, hit link again.
- 'G' is gutter
- 'S' is spare
- 'X' is strike
- up/down/left/right arrows lets you move between cells
- mouse click selects a specific cell
- 10th frame also collects the "extra shots", so if you put X in 10th frame, you can add another X, S, or G. If 10th is spare, then you can add another X or G.
- bad characters are ignored
if u see anything that needs to change because its not functioning right, let me know.
V, i'll bring a copy of this on a usb stick for our first night of powling, whenever that is. If it might be tomorrow, let me know.
