What will the match engine be.

A total autoplay, with just a result at the end?
An autoplay showing you what is going on in a mock scorecard?
A 2D match engine?
A 3D match engine?

 

[sohum]

There will no be 2D/3D graphics as such, as this will be an online game. Our current match engine is total autoplay. This is because the user is a simulated player in the team, and they dont' really have any choice in the selection of the team, etc. Attributes such as aggression and mentality may be added for human players at a later stage, but most of these run from the ratings that each user will initialize with.

The final output will be a scorecard and possibly commentary. The game is ready to output both, but we do not want to get too bat-trick'y'.

 

[manee]

Fair enough, thanks for the speedy reply and I wish you the best in your endevours

Will the user-controlled player ever get to be a captain of a team ?

 

[sohum]

That will depend on their performance. There may be other attributes such as leadership, consistency and such which affect a player's performance. However, all this will become clearer once we start developing the player part of the game. We are currently about 90% done with the match engines (the 10% is testing/tweaking/adding small extra factors), and about 20% done with creating the fixture list and automating it. After this, we will move into the most important part of the game: the actual player.

There will be international teams right?

 

[evertonfan]

There will be international teams right?

I think so, because Misra has asked for rosters to be filled in for International teams.

 

[sohum]

There will be international teams right?

Yeah, the international teams will only play international matches, though. In that they won't have their own domestic structure, because we want to concentrate on "Indian Cricket Career" first and foremost. There is a possibility that other team's domestic structures can be added in the future, depending on the stability of our framework and the popularity of the game.

 

[srk121]

so how far has the game progressed????

 

[sohum]

Not a lot since the last few updates.
We've got the match engines down pretty well, now.

I'm writing the algorithm that selects the XI for a given team, given a squad of 20.
I have also written the function that generates a list of fixtures for x number of teams in an inputted format.

Once the selection function is written, the match engine will become automated and then we will move on to desiging the final part: the player interface.

[GrayNicolls]

Is the game going to be on your sohum site?

No, it will probably be hosted on CIO, which is hosted on planetcricket.
