FR - Select Game from Multiple Game JSON or Scoreboard about jamstats

[dhmay]

This would take a little work, but it's tractable... for the webserver, because I've already got a web interface to expand on there. Building a separate GUI would certainly be possible but would be more work.

I'm thinking I could build these options into the webserver (could also provide controls for color and anonymization there), and then also give the webserver a way to generate the PDF. That would make the webserver an easy one-stop shop for the not-commandline-inclined.

I was thinking after I pushed this that having something in the WebServer UI would be more friendly

It could also mean at tournaments/multi-game events, all you'd need to do would be to setup an instance of JamStats on the server of the track(s) and have a guest WiFi network that people could connect to - connect to the JS server and select the game they want (be it the game currently in progress that they're Benching for, or a previous one if they want to do some reconnaissance on another team or review an earlier game they were in)

But the issue I thought about was for JSON files being generated as a PDF/TSV output... May that becomes a functional spec of JamStats

• Outputting to WebSever can handle multi-game files regardless of input method (Opens to WebServer where it defaults to Current Game, or there's a way to choose the specific game they want)
• Outputting to PDF/TSV can only handle single-game files (or only outputs CurrentGame for Multigame files)
  ?

Would something like that work?
A recommendation for the Game List would be similar to how CRG currently does it for the Scoreboard Operator
{Game [GameNum]: }{[Game Date]} Team 1 vs. Team 2 ([GameState]: ScoreT1 - ScoreT2)
Where the contents in {} are only populated if the [] inside is not null

Let me know if you want a full JSON file that has a range of data like this, and I can get you one (well... dummied up at least :P )

[dhmay]

I like that idea. I'll work on that.

It would really help to have a dummied-up file with multiple games! Ideally with enough data that I can tell which game I'm looking at based on my plots.

I'll see what I can do for you after work tonight

And yes, I didn't say it in my first comment (but meant to), was that exporting to TSV/PDF from WebServer would be useful too (review previous games at a tournament, and export to PDF/TSV for posterity)

Here ya go @dhmay

I loaded a few completed JSON files I had laying around from games last year, a few blank games that happened but have NOOOO idea where the JSONs went - and then started one of them for you so it was a "CurrentGame" in the second jam

There should be enough variation in the 12 games that you can tell What is What easy enough

Ha! Yeah, that should give me plenty to work with! :D Thanks!

This is a busy week for me... might be next weekend before I have a chance to bang on this.

[bullseye555]

All good!

This is low priority, IMO - the work you've done so far is brilliant (especially fixing all the bugs over the weekend!)
