Am getting quite a few errors and stuff. Other-wise, it is quite brilliant.

Evilhoopler · 26-04-2009, 12:06 AM

I think that the hawkeye is a bit iffy.

Storer · 05-12-2009, 02:48 AM

Has this game been abandon?

tocg · 25-11-2010, 07:45 PM

Not sure if it has or not... looks like it might have been. Seemed like there were some good ideas in here.

Try The Online Cricket Game which is similar (and should work for you Mac folks).

All input / feedback / help welcome,
Cheers

Neil is this game still in any form of development? What you consider releasing the source code? What language was it written in?

Cheers

I still maintain that this was going to be the best LO cricket simulator going by a massive margin if you ever got around to finishing it, Neil. Was pretty close to being there already, tbh - I'd still be using it at my site if I didn't eventually purpose-build my own.

Shame that it isn't suitable for lower screen resolutions

Neil Pickup · 18-04-2012, 02:05 PM

Mariner - It's not *that* screen-intensive, is it?

I will get back to it one day, I swear. I just got frustrated by the fact that I couldn't work the AI properly to get the bowling orders right, and consequently crappy spinners kept being given late overs to tail enders and getting the best averages...

Prince EWS · 18-04-2012, 02:08 PM

Can't be that hard to make it save the best two seamers in the side some overs for the death, even if a little contrived.

Probably not, I've just got a 1024*600 screen so it doesn't all fit, can't see the next over etc bit. Still seems like a really good sim though.

Couldn't you put something in to save Seamers X and Y say 4 overs each at the death?

Neil Pickup · 18-04-2012, 02:24 PM

Surely you can fiddle with your screen size? Or move the taskbar to the side, just to have a play?

The issue with the AI is trying to make it think flexibly and as I would whilst captaining (well, clearly that's not going to happen) rather than just following Ricky Ponting's big book of captaincy by numbers. Sometimes you want X and Y back for 8 overs at the death... others you don't.

Hmm. I am motivated to have a play over the next day or so before the holidays are out. Any more "surprise features" or ideas for me to target?

PS - Take it you're a Grimsby Town fan with that username?

Already hide the taskbar, so can't do anything on that front unfortunately.

And yes I am a town fan

Mac compatibility

All jokes aside, looks like a pretty damn good simulator.

Keyboard shortcuts for next ball/over, change of innings and anything else that's in that little section. Shouldn't be too hard I wouldn't have thought.

EDIT: And maybe the ability to have different databases.
