*Official* My Cricket Simulator: Updated Demo Available (29-12-2008)

Neil Pickup · 18-10-2003, 01:23 PM

As you all know, I'm planning on writing an entirely new game engine from the ground up (which in due course will be incorporated into Beach Cricket 2006 and possibly used for the CWXI as weel) so right now I'm looking at people's ideas for what needs including in a cricket simulator.

At present, I'm thinking:

Players' Heights
Bowling Type
Bowling Speed
Bowling Accuracy
Bowling Movement/Spin
Bowling Lines
Bowling Lengths
Batting Foot Preference
Batting Side Preference
Batting Shot Power
Batting Timing
Pitch - Pace, Movement, Spin
Outfield
Weather
Field Placements (not to the nth degree as I do not have the ability/time)

The bowling and batting attributes will determine the abilities of players rather than their averages.

Obviously with sensible bowling changes and movable batting orders and properly paced run-scoring.

Please add to the list...

Neil Pickup · 18-10-2003, 02:20 PM

Any more ideas?

It's likely to take a long time as I do need to fit it around the rest of my life and my degree

Mr Mxyzptlk · 18-10-2003, 02:41 PM

Clearly you don't have your priorities straight.

It would be good if it had decent stat tracking capability and a reader-friendly scorecard output.

Neil Pickup · 18-10-2003, 03:08 PM

Stat tracking I can do (as you can see in BC02) - but it's anal to code - and I think the current cards are readable - a few tabs will be used in the next versions, however.

Please add to the list and I will attempt to knock this up

Catching / ground fielding ability
speed between wickets

This is sounding a very detailed and comprehensive game! Are you sure you want it to be freeware?

David · 19-10-2003, 05:50 PM

Experience? Form?

Will players be able to improve over time etc etc?

or is that just too much?

Yes, He is...

No, but seriously that is a good question. If you happen to actually finish the game what with your social life, What are your plans for it? other than CWXI and Devs

Mr Mxyzptlk · 19-10-2003, 06:19 PM

Depending on how detailed you want it to be...

* ability to play spin
* ability to play pace

David · 19-10-2003, 06:31 PM

I don't think i saw any provision for Batting aggression/defensiveness. Unless Shot power and timing somehow come into that?
