I just whipped this up over the last hour. Tomorrow I plan on adding a third step so that it generates a graphic from the information you enter.

V0.1alpha1
Score Card Generator (http://discgolf.erley.org/)

Any suggestions are welcome. PLEASE report bugs. Comments can be posted here or e-mailed to [email protected]

(feel free to move this topic to the appropriate category, wasn't sure where it went)

I like that quite a bit! Very user friendly, and just simple enough. Thanks for sharing it!

Thats really sweet man. Thanks for posting that. I may actually keep track of my score for EVERY round I play now :D

well, like I said, right now it's still very alpha code and not feature complete. Tonight I'm going to make it so that whatever you fill in, then hit next, is printed onto a nice graphic for good save/print purposes. Maybe even generate pdfs. I'm hesitant to do PDFs as that's a lot more CPU.

Nice work; looking forward to the revision. Is there a way to change the font to Ariel, or something else? I have my own scorecard 'thing' but I appreciate the effort. :cool:

If I had my druthers, I see 'length' and 'par' below 'players'.

...there dosen't seem to be a total for par, even though pars are adjustable. The text boxes don't 'contain' the print, so use caution on length. At least it isn't Times/Roman, there. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

It would be keen to be able to print two-per-page. :p

yeah, rather than write some generic jscript generating code, I figured I'd just update the totals when it moved to the next step. Much easier. This is really just designed as a step 2, but it turned out looking good enough that I decided to share it. As far as font selection, font size, # cards per page, etc, I hadn't thought of that. Perhaps have it ask how big the paper you have and have it print the maximum number that'd fit on the page?

As far as row order, maybe have a option on the left hand side allowing each person to move the rows to exactly where they want them?

Pat

need a place for persons name also does this print on one page? excuse my ignorance

I had to tell it to 'lie down', manually, but it sized onto an 8 1/2x11 nicely. There's room for two, 5-players, at that "size".


...that moving rows I don't get. :confused:

Player1..PlayerN are the player name fields.

as far as printing on one page... That depends on how many holes and players you've selected. Put in 96 holes and 100 players and you'd probably need a cad printer to get it on one sheet.

Things I plan to add:

Row Order Adjustments.
Splitting Options ([front/back] , [Front/mid/back] , [Custom])
--Custom would ask for how many splits you want and the headers would be editable.
Make a subtotals option every N holes. Default would be off, but with this, you could put in 72 with subtotals every 24.
Quantity to print option
Running totals during data entry.

PLEASE request features. I've not seen that many score cards so I'm by no means an expert. I just couldn't find a decent generic one that I liked.

But first, need to get it creating a pretty image to print.

Pat

I...that moving rows I don't get. :confused:



rather than require par to be where it is, you could change it to after players, after hole number, top, etc.

Pat

I'd like that feature.

...5 is pretty much the max. One benefit I see of keeping score is the introduction of etiquette....at least in the early stages, that is. A proper scorecard shouldn't encourage zoos. Why print 6>>>?!?

Because I might plan on throwing 6 rounds in a day and don't want to use 2 score cards?(maybe 2 people throwing 3 sounds better)

Gotta go gotta throw has a "free" (with purchase) score card that I really like. Eight players (or rows),18 holes with Front 9 total, back 9 total, and course total columns. using all columns I can score the two (now only one) 21 hole courses in Austin. It comes in a "book" form that can keep 8 rounds of golf or, as I use it, one page for each course/tournament I play so that I have a round to round record of my game. It helps to see holes that I'm taking strokes on, where my game gets into trouble.

I like the feature of your generator that allows the user to define distance/par/# of players. I was not able to format it so it would print 21 holes on one sheet but, I did not spend any time trying to make it work, just a quick "print preview" to see if it would.

Thank you for sharing. :)

pretty nice.

you can go to www.earthoffice.net/discgolf (http://www.earthoffice.net/discgolf) and get the same thing (but course sepcific), plus store it and record your scores into the database tracking hole by hole averages and so on.

pat, if you are interested in a larger project, i'm interested in collaborating with some others to make the earthoffice site better.

pretty nice.


Thanks

Well, that is actually similar to what I was going to do. First get it working with basic card generation, then add the ability to save card layouts without score, then add users and the ability to store all scores. I wasn't going to mention those other features because the person who's hosting this is hesitant to let me go after his mysql server like that.

Anyways, yeah, I'm interested in helping in the improving this earthoffice.net site.
