Well, of course there were a few. :-)
Mentioned here are the hard ones.
Not to forget that some of my collegues might call
me cunctator when I'm out.
Textfiles as database
I love SQL, I love relational databases. But the storage of
tournament results is a very simple and goal oriented thing
and JTourney does everything with the data one needs to
do with it. On the other hand it is a good feel in case of
trouble to have all this data readily even if the program
fails, as long as VIM still
works.
No GUI
As stated, I have ten years of practise with a predecessor program.
This had no GUI. Of course it would be cool to have one.
Generate lots of information in RenderHTML
Well the predecessor program was very picky about being asked by
the operator, "I want this", "I need that". This has tourned out
to be a source of frequent confusion. The current output format
just tries to print out all kinds of information it has available
and generates that overview page. This is a bit of a GUI: Need the
standings of last round? Just click on it.
