Alright, so I’ve been messing around with this NBA lineup maker thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster. I wanted to build something where I could just quickly throw together lineups, see how they stack up, and maybe even get some suggestions.
First, I started by just brainstorming. Like, what do I actually want this thing to do? I jotted down some basic ideas:
- I needed to be able to pick players, obviously.
- I wanted to see positions – PG, SG, SF, PF, C.
- Maybe some basic stats would be cool, like points per game or something.
Then I started poking around to see what tools I could use. I thought, “Okay, I need something to create a basic user interface.” No need to get all fancy, just a basic tool.
I started coding, just baby steps, you know? I got the basic player selection working. It wasn’t pretty, but I could pick five players. Progress!
The next big hurdle was figuring out how to deal with the positions.I decided to keep it simple. Just your standard five positions, no hybrid stuff or anything too complicated.
I spent a good chunk of time just cleaning things up. Making it look a little less… rough. Added some colors, made the layout a bit nicer, that kind of stuff.
And that’s pretty much where I’m at. It’s not perfect, far from it. But it’s something. I can pick my players, see their positions.
