V1.1.4.202103032300 Basic player creator, line score tidy up and additional play results, including errors
- Player creator: This idea came to me when I started wondering how I could fulfil my plan of creating 10,000 players at random, at the same time giving them realistic attributes.
- Added a separate form to generate players which can eventually be saved to database. Presently just generates attributes for contact and power vs L/R based on an entered minimum number of points to allocate, and entered maximum value for bonus points.
- Bonus points are calculated at random and added to total points to allocate across all attributes. If an attribute is already on 100, that bonus point is wasted. Works pretty well and will be expanded upon.
- Line score tidy up: This was something that was mostly a quick fix so I thought I may as well get it out of the way now.
- Now the button for the bottom of the current inning is disabled if playing the top of the inning.
- Now puts an X in the bottom of the 9th if not played at game end and disables that button.
- Additional play results: After completing the line score tidy up I suddenly decided to put the errors variable to use. I then decided that the best way to do that would be to add in a couple more play results.
- There was part of the code in there for groundouts and flyouts (the pitchoutcome number was generated but the result diverted to the ‘single’ code. So I just had to create two new procedures that processed the outs, as well as adding additional logic to process these pitchoutcomes and output the correct text as the playresult.
- On groundouts, baserunners move forward a base, and 1st is left empty.
- On flyouts, baserunners presently don’t move forward, and 1st is left empty. But code is left in there for later modification.
- This meant I could put in the error logic. Now strikeouts, groundouts and flyouts can each result in an error, due to each procedure passing a value that affects the error chance to a new ‘play error checking’ procedure. That value is the maximum in a random number generator. Then if the random number is under 10, it’s an error. Error on strikeout is presently a 10 in 200 chance, error on GO or FO presently 10 in 100 chance. Obviously this will all change to incorporate fielder attributes etc.
- Realised after finishing up that groundouts would still have runners advancing on 3rd out so had to fire it up again to add in more code to prevent this. Also decided to add code for sac fly on flyout with less than two outs. Not advancing runners on 2nd or 1st. Not yet. All these are circumstantial results of course and can be redone later. All up an extra 15 mins work.
- Realised after finishing up again and doing a short test that a strikeout with an error (ie dropped third strike) results in the baserunner on 1st disappearing as they are replaced by batter, and don’t advance. Fixed that. Also had to implement all dropped third strike logic. Another 15 mins. I really need to stop testing straight away. This logic may or may not work as intended. To be continued.
In the meantime, here's a game log output. Feel free to go over it with a fine-tooth comb to find any errors (the numbers before each play are the internal id of the pitch result). For testing purposes I increased the error chance to 1/4 for a strikeout and 1/2 for groundouts and flyouts. I think.

Winner: Brisbane Broncos
Dropped third strike is not an error and should not be scored as such. I don’t think.
ReplyDeleteFixed in next version.
DeleteVery first plate appearance has ‘0 strikes out’. Looks like this happens before the first player is loaded. How the heck did that happen???
ReplyDeleteLooks like it only happens when simming. Weird.
Delete2nd batter in bottom of 1st grounds out but doesn’t show how many out.
ReplyDeleteFixed in next version
DeleteWhen strikeout with runner on 1st and less than two outs, it still says error made and batter reached 1st safely, even though batter is out and number of outs increases. So just a problem with the way playresult text is built.
ReplyDeleteFixed in next version.
DeleteBottom of the second batter 416 disappeared; should have scored a run on the homer
ReplyDeleteProbably no longer an issue; the problem there would have been the next baserunner taking their place without 416 advancing correctly.
DeleteTop of 4th, bases are loaded and single does not score a run
ReplyDeleteProbably no longer an issue, would have been caused by fly out not being done correctly.
DeleteBottom of the 6th left on base should be 3
ReplyDeleteShould actually have been 2. Would have been caused by not advancing the runner on 1st on the fly ball error. Probably no longer an issue.
