Fighting Game Personal Recorder

For this project, I want to design a program where someone who plays fighting games can access and record the outcomes of the game played. When recording the data, the game, the characters used, will be part of the data along with the outcome. Using the recorded data, I want to be able to show the history of games and provide statistic on the match-up between the characters (i.e. Based on the data, what is the percentage of matches where Ryu wins against Ken). Another component I would want to implement is a combo and moves recorder with a total damage and also what sort of follow-ups (set-ups) possible after the combo.

The users of the program could be and not limited to:

• A player who wants to see which character has the highest win rate against his character so they could learn how to fight against that character
• A group of players who want to record the outcomes and create a match-up chart (a chart showing the win rate of each match-up)
• Someone who wants to learn a character and want to record combo from opponents and execute the combo themselves.

This is a project that I want to do as it is something that would be convenient for me to be able to use the recorded data and adapt based on it.

User Stories

• As a user, I want to be able to add a game outcome to the games list
• As a user, I want to be able to remove a game outcome from the games list
• As a user, I want to be able to view the list of games played and it's outcomes
• As a user, I want to be able to select a character and see the win-rate of the character
• As a user, I want to add useful information about combos learned and possibilities after the combo
• As a user, I want to be able to retrieve combos or additional information from a specific match
• As a user, I want to be able to save the list of matches to a file and be prompted to do so before I quit
• As a user, I want to be given to option to load the list of matches from a file

Instructions for Grader

• You can add a match by clicking on "Add" tab, then add in the information and press submit
• You can filter the matches by clicking on "View" tab, type in the name of the character to filter and press the filter button
• You can get info about a specific match by clicking on the "View" tab then click on the row of the match
• You can locate my visual component by starting the app and the splash screen is a loading animation
• You can save the state of my application by clicking the save button on the "Save/Load file" tab
• You can reload the state of my application by clicking the load button on the "Save/Load file" tab

Phase 4: Task 3

From the UML, I can see that splash is not connected to anything. That class was simply made to create a new window that plays a gif file that acts like a loading splash screen. Most of that the method's usage is in its constructor. So I would refactor that by having a few methods in the RecorderApp that does what the constructor in the Splash class does.
