The Launch of Cricket Simulator


It's been a bit over one week since I uploaded Cricket Simulator, so I figured I better get an actual launch announcement out there! So here goes nothing:

Cricket Simulator is OUT NOW!

Over 90 plays in those first seven days is beyond anything I ever expected.

Thank you for the kind messages and suggestions for improvements, I'm working on an update now that will move it away from a strictly 1:1 reproduction of the existing games like pencil cricket that inspired it. No balls will be handled correctly (the batting team will receive an extra run, and the bowling team will have to re-bowl the delivery. Test Match rules too, so no free hit!) It will also no longer be possible to be bowled or caught LBW from a bouncer (only caught by a fielder), and the commentary will be updated to account for these new conditions.

I'm planning on updating the commentary to acknowledge hat-tricks as well, but I'm not sure if that will come in the first update, or the one after.

Thanks again, and here's to my new goal: 100 plays in two weeks!
