Free Game Timers, Need help with Javascript

[roller]

Anyone on here have any experience with Java? I am perfecting my gametimers so that I can host java client side scoreboards and timers for anyone to access via the web or offline by saving the page and then just loading the file with the browser (no need for the internet)...

Here is a screen capture of what I'm working on... I'm almost finished, but I have some bugs to work out. Anyone...???

what's the bug ? My javascript (as my action script) is quite rusty...but a fresh brain can sometimes see the problem with new eyes


By the way, with your last beta version, I was thinking about keyboard shortcuts...But I don't believe it's possible with javascript ? Calling keys ? I'm not sure...I remember learned ascii codes to use keyboard events, but I can't remember if it was for action script or java script...perhaps none of these tw languages

Yes, you can use onkeypress and then look for the key code. I was actually thinking of using the spacebar (easy to hit in a hurry) and just counting the number of times pressed to call different functions.

You can also use a wireless mouse and then look for either left or right mouseclick events. Or, you could use a presentation clicker.

I will forward the code I'm having problems with tomorrow...

Thanks for your help!

onkeypress ! that's it !

keyboard shortcuts are definitly a great option. You know that on software, once you know them, you almost never touch the mouse...

If I can give you an advise, use diferent shortcuts, with meaning choices (S for stop, D for down, etc... for example).

It's easy to make a litlle printed sheet to learn the shortcuts.

Dimitri,

I got it figured out. I had a few functions that were overlapping. I should have it ready to roll out today.

For other leagues, I can customize this very easily to add your graphics, timing functions, game timers, etc. I can even add a few sound effects

great news !

thank you a lot for that thing. It will fill a big gap in our hobby. And for free...You're a prince

I created this using javascript and html. This can be customized for any league. The one shown below is for the MidOhio League. I can also customize for MFCA members as a perk of the membership.

What is BOX?

[roller]

In the midohio league we use a playcount method of timing the game. A box equals a play. There are 15 boxes per quarter.

If this was customized for a timed game, that area would read "Time Remaining" or something similar, and a game clock would appear instead of the box count.
