Okay, i got on Codex this morning and thought i would try to make a coaches board so we can convince the Paks to make his YT channel.

The results are superb thus far. Even if Paks chickens out, perhaps, since this is browser based, Ed can put in on the site for us to mess around with.

This is how the interface looks

What you can do:

  1. Move players around to any position you like
  2. Select any player and then pick a spot on the board - once you click play they will move there
  3. Select any palyer you like and you have three kick options -Grubber, Chip or Uppie - Once you click play the kick is animated and shows the ball travelling to that position. Grubbers travel along the ground and chips and uppie travel higher.
  4. The player you select to kick the ball can also be marked to chase the ball. So once you click play he can pretty much do anything any of the other players can do.
  5. You can indicate directions/routes
  6. You can indicate space(yellow dotted line
  7. You can change team colours.

When balls are kicked or passed and you click player, the player movement to the destination and ball travelling are all animated as shown below.

Here is a series of images showing it in action...

sorry for the poor quality images.

But ja, you basically put all the info in, select where you want each player to move, and if you want the ball to be kicked as well as the destination of the kick, and then you click play and the whole things is animated and everything plays out based on your directions.

Any ideas you guys have i can incorporate quite easily, so lets see what we can end up with.

This might be a very fun addition.

I now added passing and travel times to destinations as well as at that point during the travel time the ball is passed to the next player...

okay, now i have added a PNG screenshot function, so once you have everybody in position you can screenshot it, then you can click "play", let it play out, and then screenshot again to show where everybody ends up.

And the screenshots already have a white margin around them and in high res so perfect for uploading to the forum.

here is a sample...

okay, i am having good fun with this.

I have no made it sow you choose the exact moment of the pass by simply clicking on the players movement direction arrow instead of having to enter times manually.

The blue dots indicate exactly when the ball will be passed.

Okay, it all works perfectly at this point.

Now, those that are interested can make some suggestions and I'll add them in.

Also, final screenie for the day...with more apt jersey colours...showing Wiese abusing the entire Kiwi backline on his way to dotting down under the posts.
