highball

Mobile-focused 9 ball pool scorekeeper

  • Enter a name for each player and select their skill level
  • Tap a ball to activate it and mark a point
  • Touch and hold to mark a ball as dead
  • Mark Innings, Defenses, Break & Runs, and 9 On The Snaps with the incrementer buttons (+/-).
    • If you mark the 9 as active and then increment a 9 On The Snap, all neutral balls will be marked as dead
  • At the end of each rack (once all balls are either active or dead), the rack table will have a column added with player 1's point total, innings for that rack, dead balls for that rack, and player 2's point total.
    • Tap Next Rack to save this score and begin the next rack
    • Tap Edit Score to de-activate the 9 ball and adjust balls, innings, and defenses as needed

Recent changes:

  • Made inactive balls easier to see - white circle and ball # are hidden once the opposing rack has scored that ball
  • Now live on highball.pro
  • Added donate button
  • Added instructions on welcome screen
  • Adjusted formatting

To do:

  • SEO meta tags
  • Donate button looks weird on iOS - maybe webkit-appearance?
  • Menu for rooms/display latest rack score in portrait
  • End of match UI (table? modal? Match Points Earned, total # innings, reset with confirmation)
  • Browser Inconsistencies:
    • Looks best on chrome android devices (phone size)
      • When launched from home screen shortcut, the URL bar is always visible and the app scrolls a tiny bit (bottom buttons can be cut off or the top half of player names can be cut off).
      • When launched in the chrome browser, URL bar can be hidden by scrolling up and down a few times
    • Tablet sizing still isn't perfect, but not terrible.
    • On iOS UI Web View (and older versions of Safari), tap delay of 300 ms can be annoying. Regular Safari is ok.
    • On iOS Chrome, no tap delay but the URL bar is always visible

Future:

  • Menu system on portrait
  • Make league night version - keeps score for 5 matches... use the menu on the portrait screen to view match summaries
    • Tournament edition could follow this - calculating match points needed to win the round (51 cumulative match points earned or 50 points with 3 wins)
    • Need to decide if we want to go with single page version or separate pages with routing.
  • Handicap/lineup calculator
  • 8 ball version (or non-points 9 ball)
  • Record player/team data, look into getting/posting to web services

Less-recent changes:

  • Made dead ball check for end of rack -- fixed minor bug
  • Detects if 9 ball is active and then 9OTS gets incremented and there are still neutral on the table. Marks all neutral balls dead.
  • Froze left-most column of rack table
  • Logo modified to transparent background with slight shadow on 9 ball
  • Fixed rack table not activating when dead ball is the last selected
  • Trimmed spaces from names
  • Fixed issue on activate and de-activate the first ball
  • End of match working (alerts!)
  • Portrait end of rack score

Older changes:

  • Orientation fixed so that portrait displays landing view and landscape displays main app view.
  • Favicons and app icon added. Can now Add to Home Screen on ios and android.
  • 9 on snap, break & run incrementers for each player.
  • Updated the Edit Score and Next Rack buttons to show/hide; reset rack functionality working.
  • Added borders for all balls
  • Added word "Balls" to dead, made lower cased innings, added line break after dead balls before counter.
  • Ball color CSS, opacity and dead functionality included in ballColorCSS branch
  • Changed press functionality - only neutral balls can be marked dead. Active and Inactive press isn't recognized, operates as a normal tap.
  • when dead is rezzed, it automatically adds a point. after a press, the click is being triggered. google hammerjs "ghost click" for more info. I got a stupid work-around going where it triggers click once, so if you release press fast enough you can't tell that it's re-activating.
  • Editing from the browser, not sure if this works. But it looks like maybe that ghost click thing only happens in a browser, when emulating a device tapping, it might be ok. Might have to detect if it's actually mobile or just handle the ghost clicks differently. I don't know.
