Tournament Organiser
This project was commissioned by Dynamic Flame badminton club and was intended to assist them in the setup and running of their badminto tournaments.
Context
Dynamic Flame required an application that allowed them to easily and efficiently input players' names and contact details, the formats they compete in (singles or doubles), and the grade they are in that format.
Development
Development started out by planning and testing the process in which I create and time the games automatically. Once that concept was completed, I started the front-end development, creating a UI that allowed the user to enter players into the database, edit them and delete them. The user interface is completed with ways to create new tournaments, people, and games. Users can add existing players from other tournaments and copy existing tournament player lists.
Tools
I decided to utilise Microsoft Windows Forms for the development of the application front-end and back-end. I also decided to use a database to store this information, and therefore made use of SQLite to interface C# with SQL. I am also using GitHub as version control.
Final Product
The final step was to integrate the new design into an existing Excel spreadsheet used by Dynamic Flame. This was done using connections to the database, allowing the Excel document to lay out the games, times and record scores back into the database for later use.
