Matboj evaluator

Used at math camps like Pikomat or KMS for keeping score when all participants in the camp play a board game and need to compute individual ranks periodically.

Features

• Print the current scores or matches that have been played so far.
• Undo any match that has been played and recorded incorrectly.
• Save the game state in a JSON file and restore from it at any other time.
• Written as a command-line app which makes it extremely ergonomic to use. The user can handle 40+ people playing matches at the same time.
• No setup and dependencies needed, only a Python 3 installation.
• Short (~200 lines of code), so easy to hack and customize.
• Battle tested at a few events.
• Permissive MIT license.

Using the evaluator

Put names of all the contestants in the people.txt file, one name per line. All the names have to be unique and they are case-sensitive.

Then launch the application from the terminal:

python3 matboj.py

If you are using the app interactively, increase the text size in your terminal and use an overhead projector to show the players what their scores are.
