The FLL Judging application is an application to make the judging during a tournament digital. It is a first step to move to a complete digital scoring and judging system for FLL tournaments. Currently this repository is in a development stage.
The goal of the application is to support the judging process according the international FLL guidelines. This includes (but is not limited to) the following:
- Digital rubrics, with comments
- Ranking & nominations support
- Dissementation of rubrics (feedback) to teams
- Import and export of data (to and from judging lite or other applications) For more information on the requirements refer to the documentation file.
This application is made using Angularjs. Like the scoring it is the ambition to support a wide range of configurations.
The easiest way to install this application is using NodeJS and clone this repository. Then use npm install --save-dev to install the dependencies. See the wiki/code for the list of packages this project uses.
Use npm start to start serving the application. Go to http://localhost:1391 in your web browser to see the application work. You can use the -p <port> option to set an preferred port instead of the standard port 1391.
We appreciate contribution and feedback. If you want to contribute please fork this repository and make a pull-request. Read the issues and the wiki to see what we are working on and where we need help. Within the code we use TODO [type]-comments to mark which parts in the files needs adjustments. The type-part of such a todo-comment contains one of the labels used for the issues. Not all todo-comments have to be assigned to issues.
We try to keep the application modular since it has a lot of different functionalities. The overview of modules can be find on the wiki.
Since the application does not only exists of code, the project is divided into parts:
- Code
- Bugs (have the highest priority in the project)
- Requirements (functions that must be implemented, high priority)
- Features (functions that could be implemented, lower priority)
- Ideas (extra functions that may be implemented, needs decision)
- Documentation
- FLL-digitalization (things that are related to the general digitalization projects for the FLL)
In the issues you can see the list of things that need work or that we are Currently working on. If you find a bug or want to start working on something, please comment on the corresponding issue.
