The Unpredictable Update, the New Scoreboard, and a Sneak Peek

Image
The Unpredictable Update Unpredictability. It's something I failed to nail in the earlier versions of the game. I feel like v1.4 is finally it. Looking back, v1.3 wasn't as unpredictable as I thought it was. It was quite predictable compared to the brand-new v1.4. You can download v1.4 here . This update also adds text at the start of the game, stating "Welcome to Programming Park!" Yes, I'm adding to Code Sox lore by creating a ballpark for them. The New Scoreboard Because of this, you can now use the Programming Park scoreboard on Canva to keep track of your games! It's inspired by the Wrigley Field scoreboard and can be edited however you want, because it's a template. The new scoreboard. A Sneak Peek Looking forward, I want to make a two-player version of the game. It will work the same way as the current game, but instead of playing against an AI at the bottom of the inning and having the top of the inning simulated, both halves will be played from t...

The Biggest Update Yet!

v1.3 is the biggest update yet for the Python Pitching Simulator. Download it here . As you may already know, the game has 5 innings. You pitch at the bottom of the inning. Before each inning, the top is simulated by giving your team a certain amount of runs. However, this led to a bug in the older versions. If you were down at the end of the fifth, you could still come back in the top of the sixth, as adding the score was part of the end-of-inning code. This obviously isn't how real baseball works. v1.3 fixes that. v1.3 also makes games less predictable. It adds fly outs and utilizes a different outcome code. Unfortunately, it's still a quite predictable. In the future, I'll try to randomize pitches more. v1.4 will also sub you, the starting pitcher, out at a certain point. Until then, 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.
