Feature

What did you expect to see?

I want to have a new screen for managing players, where one

• [ ] Implement a screen where one can
  • [x] Create new players
  • [x] Remove players
  • [x] Change/configure players
  • [ ] ~~view some statistics (will be picked up in #240)~~

If i'm correct this can be done after the singing part already (if in score mode). One can give up a name for the score they sang. For viewing statistics there's an open issue: #240

Yes you are right with the screen after singing, but the problem is that one can not reach it from main screen. And the workflow is reverted. I want to create players before singing and I want select players before singing. Otherwise all issues depending on player configuration will not work.

For example if a "party" game mode needs groups of players the current "workflow" is unusable.

I am not sure if the statistics in #240 are different from player statistics, but that point is like an addon and not important for this issue.

So technically this issue should be solved with the other issue you added #572

@performous/contributors what do you guys think of this?

I do like the idea to add playerconfiguration and assign them to mics or guitars etc. There is some overhaul to do but in the end it'll be more extendable

I would like to keep the things separated, not making issues too big.

[Baklap4]

I didn't mean this to be within #572, but as an extension upon #572 . As you said issues shouldn't be too big

In a party setting, this could also work via web browser. The host enters player info, song selection etc. while guests are singing. Anyone up for developing that further?

Hmm yes this could be a solution however i still think of the webserver as a nice to have and not needed for performous at all. So preferably within the UI of performous itself and later within the webinterface

[twollgam]

So, if I develop a "player configuration screen" I will take the existing player screen as "template". The data should come from and go to the Players class. There will be no player selection before singing (this is not contained in this issue, even if I mentioned that somewhere in the comments).

[Baklap4]

Hmm as in flow i'd create a new screen based on the configured microphones or controllers where you can assign a name to the microphone/controller which uses the Player class underneath.

@twollgam how's progress coming along with #757 ? Anything you're stuck on?

[twollgam]

No, everything's fine until now. I would like to do some small things like layout etc. after release of 1.3. So 1.3 can still be a "developer" release.
