Simple football manager app in the vein of the early Championship Manager games.

Intro Fixtures Team Players League Match

Plan

Cm93 isn't quite playable (well, enjoyable) at present, but a fairly well thrashed out beginning. Enough to get on GitHub certainly. The remainder of this README.md details what I'd like to have done before I can consider it a launchable game. Mainly adding functionality at the moment but in the long term would look to work with a WPF Blend expert to make something that looks nice too.

Non-developers can download an installer from the Releases link above.

  • Redo UI to side level menu bar buttons instead of quadrants

  • Create a player module for looking at detailed stats (team filter like the results page).

    • Also allows bids for players (for first 4 weeks of season and midpoint)

  • Match module screen

    • Show both team formations
    • Visualise game simulation (nothing too spectacular)
    • Allow for half-time formation change
    • Allow three substitutions

  • Persist state of game (immediate and continuous auto-save)

    • Make all the game model structures serialisable
    • Read/write from an SQLite instance
    • Add ability to have multiple save games

  • Playable datasets (more teams, 11-a-side formations)

    • Create large number of teams and players
    • Automate construction of fixtures
    • Add non-league competitions (league cup, xfa cup, euro cups) future version
    • Add multiple divisions future version

  • AI

    • Create some stock formations (4-4-2, 3-5-2, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 etc.)
    • Algorithm for varying NPC teams' formations slightly
    • Algorithm for finding "best" starting lineup-formations
    • Algorithm for responsive substitutions / formation changes future version
    • Complex game simultator implementation

  • Finishing touches

    • Highlight player's team in league table
    • Add concept of Manager name
    • Show extra info on team selection screen (shirt, ground name + capacity, budget)
    • Nicer shirt icons and pitch graphic
