The Need?
Software with a “Pro” rating.
Digital Scout needed professional quality baseball stats software. Their challenge? Die-hard baseball fans weren’t about to give up the look and feel of paper-based scorecards that have been in use for more than a century.
The Goals?
“Look” like paper & “work” like a Palm
-
Complex game logic & scoring algorithms power up this "traditional" scorecard.
Capture the complex rules of baseball & softball including special cases — and there are a lot of them!
- Automate scorekeeping and reduce errors
- … And make it easy to collect stats on the fly
The Solution?
Build a Palm OS application synchronizing through a 4D database “external” to interface with desktop system.
Changing lineups is easy. Tap a player in the dugout— place in the batting order & the previous player returns to the dugout.
What’s Unique?
- Interface designed to maximize info available on each screen— smart prompts guide users to enter data correctly
- Dynamic custom drawing controls optimize performance & user interaction
- Custom class libraries speed developing large number of complex screens
- Unified conduit structure reduces development & test time
- Higher-level tools reduce support costs & provides flexibility to accommodate new features
This traditional box score with "smart logic" provides real-time stats & knows when the inning is complete.
