It is freeware so it wont be sold. But it will be downloadable when it is complete.

Yes it is totally freeware and will be downloadable.
The interface is fully finished and expect about 20 more screens to be posted on the CM forum shortly.

Thanks to all those people who have put their hand up to either help or test the game. I will compile a list of those people shortly.

The complete list of features will be released soon. Stay tuned.

Cheers,
Duffarama

If you ask James, you could have something on here - a ready made audience!

Thanks mikeW, here is an excerpt of the official news that I posted on LASTX. Enjoy.

It is very pleasing for me to announce that the progress of the 'Ultimate Cricket Manager' has entered through its next stage of development.
The interface has been fully completed and now the next step is to undertake the large task of compiling the statistics databases.
After the completion of the databases there will be a period of coding taking place, the game will be thoroughly tested and then it will be released: freeware and fully downloadable.

Cheers.

I am trying to entice some of the CricketWeb members to join the Cricket Manager forum as well.

OK mate. Thanks for joining.

Easier to come here - one of the biggest sites around - and more likely to get people interested.

 

[duffarama]

OK mate, that is a very good point. Maybe there should be a sub-forum on CricketWeb for this game. :S

 

[marc71178]

Contact James and he'll sort you one out!

Well I can't seem to contact him. Private messaging is disabled.

 

[Cloete]

just e-mail him...

I'm not planning on signing up on that forum.. but I will read anything if you host it on this forum

 

[duffarama]

Please could you post up his email address.

And yes allright, I'll post everything on both forums from now on.
But please signup anyway. Do Horo and I a favour.

What's the match engine like?

The game will be running off a Microsoft Access Database.
All of your career will be saved in there as well as statistics, information etc etc.

You might have to consider adopting a new name for the game.

I doubt Dan Thomas will be pleased with you using 'Cricket Manager' and 'Ultimate Cricket Coach' is very similar to 'Cricket Coach' by Oli Norwell. Although obviously I can't speak for them.

What I'm wondering is how the results of each ball are generated.

Is it decided as one outcome, or stage-by-stage (delivery, shot, direction) etc?
