e-Judo / News: Recent posts

This project is not dead.
It is shall we say hibernating. I am snowed under so this project is on the backburner, if someone was to leap in and offer to help, that'd be grand!

Till more time is available, good night.

Hi all,
I have reset the test system today as it was preventing people from logging in. SImple problem with the database caused by the fact I have not put the data validation sections into the code.
Basically, spaces in user names kills all the users below it.
SHall time permitting fix it

I have now uploaded a new release of the e-Judo code.
This zip file contains the very latest working code, which should be uploadable to any webserver running Perl and the DBI module.
I am pleased to have got this, what is probably the final pre-alpha version before a real alpha version.

ENJOY!

I have just writtena short script to allow you to view a ranking table of Judoka based on the number of wins they have achieved.
(This is not yet in the CVS, shall add it tonight)
It is running on the test system at judocoach.com, so try it out!

I have created a VIEW_HISTORY.CGI script that alloows you to see the history for the Shiai.
Presently only the entering of a shiai and fight/simulation results are recorded.

The result of each simulated match is now recorded in the shiai history file.

I shall shortly write a script to reac the history.

I am pleased to announce that the simulation engine is now working on the project!
You can challenge another player and then fight! It is not pretty nor sophisticated, but it is working.

Winners receive 10 strength points and losers 5, so losing is not completely negative! PLease do have a test!

The 5th of the October marks the first birthday of the project. To mark the aniversary I really REALLY want to get a fully working prototype up and running!
Any help would be appreciated!

The e-Judo test area has been reset and the database cleared. So you will need to recreate your user, judoka, etc.
Work on the simulation engine will start this week. We will be making the assumption in the alpha code that all challenges are accepted. (basically so we don't have to write the accept challenge script.)
Lance

The make_challenge.cgi script is now 90% working.
It will allow you to make a challenge, adds it to the database correctly and everything now.

I need to add a the entry to the history.

Next is accepting challenges then onto the simulation engine! WOOT!

Hi All,
the make_challenge.cgi script is coming along. I have written the sub to collect the enetered players in the shiai.

Within the next couple of weeks, the module should be finished and work will start on the simulation engine. Once that is done we should have a system that people can start "playing" on as an alpha version.

Next comes cleaning the code to build the BETA and finally a real piece of software!... read more

Okay okay, I know 100 downloads is nothing compared to say GAIM, but for us/me it is a big landmark.

Thanks to everyone who has visited the project, those who have helped and offered to help. It is much appreciated. Thanks in particular to those people who have emailed me in support, it is really appreciated!

We are approaching a working system, stay tuned!

I have just uploaded a new release of the code with all the code as of today 19 May 2004.

As per the notes you can now:
Create Users
Create Judoka
Create Shiai
Enter Judoka into Shiai

Chris and I are now starting on the code to make and accept challenges to fight!

Lance

I am really pleased to announce that Chris Hamilton has joined the development team!

He shall be helping write the code and keep me (lwicks) motivated!!! (probably more important eh?!)

e-Judo is now at a stage where you can actually enter your created Judoka into a shiai.
Next will be the code to allow you to make challenges in the shiai (which presently is only able to be a ladder tournament).
After all this will be writing the simulation engine and posting of results, etc.!

The script to allow you to enter your Judoka into existing Shiai has been started and will soon be functional.
It is presently in the CVS.

Hi all, I have made some changes to the code to create the datafiles automatically usinh SQL. This is because manually doing it is a)a hassle and b)causes problems and C)just plain dumb!

I still have to create the code to create the final base datafile automatically.
I have also changed the data files from .csv to _csv as dots cause me problems in SQL.

Lance

Hi all, I have released the first "package" of e-Judo for you to download. This is a pre-alpha/testing release.
You can download it and then ftp the files within the ZIP file onto your webserver, set up your permissions and test away.

ENJOY!

Hi all, I have completed the create shiai script. It now adds the shiai to the main shiai table and also creates three table to handle LADDER tournaments.

I have finally got the table creation code sorted to handle the first shiai tyep ladder tournaments!
I am using three extra tables to handle the ladder positions, history and challenges.
Next I shall be working on how to enter the shiai how to challege folk, etc. (after completing the create_shiai module of course)
Please take a look at the CVS, any comments welcomed!
Lance

The module to create a shiai is now working!!
The module to view a shiai is working (although there is a small bug to fix!)
Enjoy!

The module to view your Judoka is now operational. The display subroutine needs expanding but all is working AOK

I have solved the error message problem and the create Judoka script is now working!
NB: You can only create a single Judoka at this stage.

The code to create a Judoka is now complete, except for a strange error which is not affecting the actual creation of the Judoka.
<P>
As soon as I have a fix for the SQL/Perl error this module will be 100% complete.
<P>
I will write a quick view Judoka Script. SHould at some point (perhaps in revision1) change this to a more object oreinted approach. ;-)
