Two Versions in One Day

I was playing the Pitching Simulator earlier and realized I had messed up with v1.4. When I released it, I thought v1.4 was the best update ever. But there was one bug: when you get a fly out, the ball-strike count doesn't reset. In real baseball, it always does. Naturally, I made a new version fixing it.

I also realized that, until now, there was no way to put the name of the pitcher. I became interested in the idea earlier when I had the idea of playing as Tarik Skubal for the Dodgers. The new update, which has the aforementioned bug fix and the pitching name feature, is known as v1.5, which you can download here.

However, some of you never got the chance to play v1.4 before v1.5 came out. It was only a two-day gap. If you'd prefer to play v1.4 for a few more days before trying v1.5, I also made a new version of v1.4 that's exactly the same, except with the fly out bug fixed.

If any of you are not baseball traditionalists and find the idea of the count not resetting after fly outs interesting, sorry. The original v1.4 has been wiped from the face of the earth. However, you can fix it with a simple code change. I made a simple guide for the non-traditionalist crowd:

  1. Download v1.4.
  2. Go to Numbers.py.
  3. Look for the code: elif result >= 5 and result <= 9:
  4. Remove the lines balls = 0 and strikes = 0.
Simple as that. Meanwhile, if any of you are hardcore baseball traditionalists, I bet you're really happy I made the bug fix. That's the beauty of Python: anyone can change the game with just a few simple lines.

Keep pitching!

Our Online Presence!

Previously, the Python Pitching Simulator was on a Wix site. However, I realized soon enough that you have to pay  to sell items on Wix, even though the items (the game files) were free! I was very upset by this. I considered free hosting services, but I was too lazy to code. It had been around a year since I last made an HTML project. So, I used Blogger. Today, the Python Pitching Simulator is now downloadable from Blogger! Regarding the two versions you will find on the website, v1.0 was the only version on the Wix website. It is the same game as the school project, featuring three possible outcomes: Strike, Ball, and Base Hit. It also featured four pitches: Four-Seam Fastball, Changeup, Cutter, and Curveball. With the arrival of v1.1, two pitches have been introduced: the Slider and the Sinker. Additionally, if you make a very bad pitch, the batter can hit a home run. It's up to you, pitchers, to prevent that! (Note: The Wix site is still up, but it will not be updated any longe...

1.2 out now; Opera page created

Image
I know I just made v1.1.1 yesterday, but v1.2 is out now. It fixes one text clean-up I missed when making v1.1.1 (adding a space between a ball being called and the next pitch being made) and, more importantly, changes the way a pitch turns out. This update makes a base hit or a home run harder for the opposing team (the Python Code Sox). If you're a programmer and understand how Python works, you can look into the source code and compare v1.1.1 to v1.2 Additionally, if you use the Opera browser, you may notice that the sidebar is gone. You probably had to access this update from the bottom of the homepage. The homepage in Opera (no sidebar!) The homepage in Chrome (with the sidebar visible) I'm not sure why, but I made a remedy for this: the Opera page. If you go to the homepage, you will find a link for Opera users. Click on it, and you'll find links to all the pages on the website. I hope this helps if you use Opera. Keep pitching!

1.1.1 is out now!

  The all-new v1.1.1 doesn't have any new features; hence it is v1.1.1, not v1.2. It adds spaces between text for reading clarity. Additionally, lazy me made it so you could get a walk-off if it went to extra innings, which makes no sense if you're the away team! So I subbed the player out at the bottom of the sixth (yes, the game only runs for at least five innings) and gave the new pitcher a base hit, a strikeout, and a double play. Enjoy! You can download it from the Downloads page or the Home page (because it's the latest version as of today). P. S. Yes, because I was lazy to make loops, you can't play in extra innings. You just automatically win. Someday, I'll make a version where you can play in extra innings.
