Powerball league development and discussion

[Crescendo]

yeah I haven't styled or decided on what I wanted to include on the squad list (/squads), or what should be on each squad's page (/squads/gauntlet), same thing goes for /pilots and /pilots/7th. Probably stuff like squad wins and losses, the roster obviously (with ranks kind of like the manage page).


i'll keep this post as a list of todo so people have an idea of what's final and what's still a work in progress.

SITE TODO:

• /pilots - sortable list of pilots, sorted by rank/goals/etc/?? will have pagination
• /pilots/<pilot-name> (individual pilot pages) - rank, graphs (rank over time), goals, goals compared to league average, visual, link to list of pilot's games. aliases, last played at (or should this be last seen?).
• /pilots/<pilot-name>/games
• /squads/
• /squads/<squad-name> (individual squad pages)
• /squads/<squad-name>/games
• /squads/<squad-name>/history/<date> or something that lets you view the roster at an exact date in time
• squad roster limit - 8/10/12??
• For squads, let people set a nice squad avatar/image... (still need to decide on best method so people don't abuse and upload porn to server)
• /games - all games played sorted by date (most recent), with pagination
• /games/<game-id> (like /games/12309429)**
• /league/schedule - schedule by weeks (e.g. WEEK 1: Dropships vs LLamas (default: 4pm Saturday))
• /league/standings
• /league/<league-number>/ - standings, champion, etc?
• figure out the best way to do flexible scheduling. (thinking right now: both squad's captains must submit a single time to play 3 days in advance, otherwise it defaults to Saturday or something.)
• very robust search, search for all games where pilot1 played pilot2, search for all games with 10 assists by one pilot, etc...
• game reporting, & compute pilot rank/skill change when games are reported
  

BOT TODO:

• confirming people's nicks for when they register to the site (!confirm <confirmation-code>)
• !next - queuing up in powerball arena, also forces people to register or they will only be able to spec
• keeping track of games (99% complete*, only need to prettify the game stats output)
• scoreboard graphics toggling (lvz toggling)
• team balancing
• bot will check schedule everyday
• bot will automatically handle matches/starting them
• losses reported and logged for each team that noshows
• what to do when squads show less than the required amount of players?
• ... probably more I haven't thought of yet
  

*note mervbot doesn't know ballposition when the ball is not being carried -- need asss to log goal shot trajectories. potentially another method too. (tracking ball position is complete, will integrate with stats later)95% complete (last todo: multiple balltracker instances for multiple arenas/bots)
**95% complete (last todo: sortable tables)
