Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2007 12:34 pm Post subject: Console Overlays in v3 |
|
|
Working on the console overlays.
What's an overlay?
An overlay is a set of information that you display OVER the top of the console for a short period of time. In v2, you can overlay the seating chart, if you didn't know it. The overlay is semi-transparent so that you can still see the console behind it
In v3...
- First, non-priority alerts (like hand nicknames, etc.) will be blocked while an overlay is displayed. Don't know why I didn't do that in v2.
- Overlays are display on all consoles at the same time...not just the server
- Overlays can be selected from the server OR the client and displayed on ALL.
v3 will have many more overlay types:
- Seating Chart by Table (1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 2x3, 3x3, 3x4 and 4x4)
- Seating Chart by Player (alphabetical by display name)
- League Standings by Rank
- League Standings by Player
- Chip Distribution (only the initial chip distribution with chips/values/quantities)
- Chip Case (all chips in the case with values)
- Payout Plan (plan only...not taking results into account)
- Results (full results)
- Payout Plan/Results (results of eliminated players + upcoming payouts)
- Betting Schedule
Can you think of others?
Also, I'm not planning on doing ALL of these before beta, but I want to document what I'd like to do. Which of the above should get higher priority than others?
In my mind, displaying the initial chip distribution is next since there are console components for the others already. After that is probably seating by player.
Basically, here's my goal: Whenever there's a player who asks for some information, you'll be able to overlay the answer to that quesiton on the console rather than having to browse through the main app tabs. _________________ --

Seating Chart by Player (alphabetical by display name)
This would be a huge help with our group... _________________ -- Kingaroy High Rollers Poker Tour -- |

Being able to show leaderboard for player's re-buys & addons, hits, etc. would be nice. Maybe even profit? |

Elaborate.
For the league? For the tournament?
Something like this?:
Code: |
------------ Tournament Reset -------------
Player Add-ons Rebuys Hits Net Gain Bad Beats
-------- ------- ------ ---- --------- ---------
Dr. Neau 0 0 10 $200.00 5
muted79 3 5 0 ($800.00) 10
luckystraights 50 40 0 ($2,000.00) 87
