New Sheep Scoring Program - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

As a little project to help me learn some new programming stuff, I wrote a new sheep scoring program. It's (hopefully) a lot more user-friendly, and a lot less buggy than the current one. Here's what it looks like:

Improvements over the old scorer:
- Automatic grouping of answers with the same spelling
- Grouping is now done by dragging and dropping, and it is much easier to correct mistakes
- It's much easier to edit questions/entries
- A few extra scoring options
- Can add bonus points to any answer or answer grouping

Download link and tutorial is available here

Please let me know of any bugs, or any other comments you have.

Have fun!

Looks fantastic.

Only thing I would like is sheep+x points as a scoring option for incorrects in peehs (If needed to be a set value then something like 4 or 5). Ofcourse 99% use the fleebrog method anyway and I haven't run a peehs forever, so it's probably not all that necessary.

Mods, please add this to the FAQ, maybe sticky thread for a while or something. This program is so easy to use even I can do it.

Is there an Archer game going on right now, or do people in POG just have good taste?

Don't know about any game. I've had this avatar for well over a year. And yes, Archer is great.

Ooooh, that's right, you have. I just noticed two Archer avs back-to-back and thought iversonian's was recently changed, so I figured I'd ask.

Also: nice program! I've never run a sheep but this might encourage a few more people to try.

PM a mod.

Looks like a pretty good/easy program to use and I'll give it a try for my next sheep.

woot!

Would you like to add the source code to the pog repository?

Make an account at assembla.com and PM me and I'll join you to our group. I can help you use the tools (subversion) if they are new to you. Then others can add more features and I can bundle it in the vote counter installer.
