iansnooke Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) Hi guys! I would like to write a program from scratch to keep score and statistics for our cricket team. I have never attemted something like this, but would like to try it as a hobbie, so time is not of the essence. What should I learn and which programs should I use?I would preferably like to do this on linux. Edited May 2, 2007 by freakout Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) If you like linux, I would recommend python. It is a program language that is for beginners, but very powerful. It is the perfect language for doing what you need. Python runs also on mac and windows, among others. Edited May 2, 2007 by shanenin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobbynichols Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Open Office 2.2 is available free at http://www.openoffice.org/ and includes an Excel compatible program called "Calc". Runs on Linux or Windows. It's a large download on dialup but I've done it overnight (you probable have a version w/ your OS).I found a cricket spreadsheed (Excel): http://exceltemplates.blogspot.com/2007/03...2007-excel.html that you might want to download and open with Open Office "Calc" (you might be able to adapt it for your own use)There might be others at: http://www.google.com/search?num=100&h...amp;btnG=Search Good Luck!

iansnooke Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Also, the problem with the spreadsheet is that it runs on the worldcup, i wanna do one for the local team. Thanks anyway! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
