Conversion of my BBC Basic Football Manager program into Python

BBC Football Manager

Conversion of my BBC Basic Football Manager program into Python. I wrote the original BBC Basic version between 1982 and 1989. In 2000, I made changes to allow the program to work on BeebEm under Windows.

In 2018, I started converting the program to Python with the intention that the program be a console program that would work under Linux and Windows. Currently, just trying to get the console version working under Linux.

In 2021, I started to add support for a version that runs in a wx window. This works under Linux and Windows.

How to Run

To run the program in a wx window. Clone project and cd into the top level folder.

./football_manager.py -g

or (Windows)

python football_manager.py -g

The -g switch is optional now, graphical mode is now the default.

To run the program in the console.

./football_manager.py -t

The console mode now only works in Linux.
