.Anyway, a few days ago, I was talking to Will about the AWS 37, and he mentioned the difficulty involved in splitting the entries list into groups for AntLog. One thing led to another, and I volunteered to make a little script that would parse a text file of robots and drivers, and split them into groups. Unfortunately, I don't know when to stop, and as such I've made a program that also displays the tournament trees, and lets you enter the results of each fight, and generally tracks the competition.
You're welcome to download the program and play around with it, but be warned that it might be buggy. I'm not going to be held responsible if my program reformats your hard-drive/posts naked pictures of you to the internet/sends threatening emails to your boss, etc. While it definately shouldn't do any of these things, what I'm saying is use it at your own risk - I've only been working on it a few days, and there's probably bugs I don't know about.
With that in mind, I encourage you not to use this for any events. AntLog is far far more reliable, and if you're used to using it, it no doubt does a better job than my program. That being said, provided I can get a fully-working and stable version done in the next week, I might try and persuade Will to try it out for the AWS, but I'm far more concerned that it works first, because I don't want to responsible for the ensuing anarchy if it breaks. It's also currently lacking some significant features - most importantly, it currently only displays/runs tournament trees for the groups stage, and not for the final stage. That's next on the list though, I assure you
.After all that, if you still want to try it out, there's a download below. If you don't already have it, you'll need to install python - version 3.1 or higher. The source code is all included as well, so if you want to take a look or play around with it, you're welcome to do so. Be warned however - my code is bad and ugly, and there are no comments. I'll fix this later, I promise. You're welcome to do pretty much whatever you like with the code really.
If you find any bugs, or have any feature suggestions, please let me know. I'm eager to make this work, and if it seems there's enough interest from people to make it worthwhile, I'll happily keep improving and maintaining this software. Lastly, I thought I'd add a quick screenshot to show what it's meant to look like (if it doesn't, please let me know - that probably means it's broken).
