What is Online Cricket Simulator?
Online Cricket Simulator 2016 is a custom text based cricket simulator, created by one person (me), which is used to simulate full matches of 50 over one day cricket. It also has a administrative component which takes away the paper-work element.
Why the Cricket Sim?
Foremost because I am a cricket fan. Also have an interest in AI, statistics, I am a programmer and have run PBEM (play by email and offline sports leagues in the past and so this prog was crafted to make a long held dream a reality. This includes removal of the more tedious elements of PBEM for faster turnover of play.
Will it be expanded to include 20/20 and test cricket?
Plenty of different formats can be covered by OCS with some changes. In fact the possibilities for the types of leagues and competitions are endless.
Is it cricket like we see on tv?
Very similar. However there have been a couple of rule changes, which will be specified later, which intend to make the game better, imho. The basics of the game have remained the same though.
What stage is the game in?
99%. I say that because I believe no game is ever 'finished' as there are always improvements to be made and bugs to iron out (even for commercial games). At this stage however it does a very good job of producing a cricket game. I have plenty of ideas I'd still like to implement as well. Of course as new ideas come along new balance and bug problems may arise and the cycle starts again.
Is OCS available to the public as a personal simulator?
No, not at the moment. Any leagues will be run by me via this forum.
Are you looking for players?
Players are welcome to sign up for PLAYER (P) leagues however some leagues will be NON-PLAYER (NP) which means they will be simulated without user input. In the meantime players are encouraged to keep an eye out for continuity errors.
Are the leagues free to play in?
Yes. Totally.
