Program for counting points while playing chess session
This is an application for counting points while playing chess session.
Inspired by chess videos of John Bartholomew.
Whenever the game ends, just hit one of the result buttons, proper points amount will be added to your score.
Application displays your overall score, game count and session’s result history.
By default, win is worth 1.0 point, draw is worth 0.5 point and loss is worth 0.0 point.
The application supports simple config file which allows you to change default score values bound with win / draw / loss.
Just edit the config.cfg file in the application’s directory and rerun application. If there is no such file, you could create one by hand or run application - after first run there should be the default file generated:
WinValue=1DrawValue=0.5LossValue=0
You can save scores in plain text file in order to keep tracking your progress.
Results will be saved in results.txt file in the application’s directory.
Every time you press Save button, current score with timestamp will be append to the results file.
Example content of the results.txt:
[05/04/19 18:18:33] Score: 1.5 / 3 Game history (newest first): 0.5, 1, 0[05/04/19 20:18:41] Score: 5 / 5 Game history (newest first): 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
For Windows platform there is prepared build in windows-build directory.
Application is written in C++ and uses wxWidgets3 library.
GUI layout was designed in wxFormBuilder.
Project based on CMake (CLion).
Should be multiplatform, but was tested only under Linux Mint 18 KDE, Windows 7 and Windows 10.
