Baseball on Scratch

Started a baseball game on scratch. As of now there are 2 teams which you can name. The game is 3 innings long and does feature extra innings if needed. The pitcher throws 4 pitches at different speeds. The batter has 5 different contact areas, pull weak, pull medium, perfect which contact can go foul line to foul line, medium opposite field, weak opposite field which all trigger dependent on early or late swings.

Move your fielders with the arrows to catch the ball. RIgth now it is either homerun, strikeout or fielded out by catching the ball before getting to the outfield wall.

Things I'm planning on adding / altering soon:
Adjust the control set so each team has a separate control set so they don't have to share the same hitting / fielding / pitching keys
New art done using GIMP with animation
Title Screen
Uniform Color Select
Choose length of game (number of innings)
Scoreboard that shows between innings
Swinging strikes (right now it is only dependent on its position on home plate)
Fix few glitches (2 in particular, hitting too late in the zone results on a screen change and an out, screwballs behind the hitter hit the bat and result in contact)
Righty / Lefty Pitchers
Righty / Lefty Batters
Walks work but don't result in anything since we don't have baserunners
Redo the stadium art

Things I'm planning on adding / altering down the road:
Better ball physics, ground balls, fly balls using a velocity and possible z axis
Base runners, throwing to bases, etc
Different team types, ala old RBI Baseball. St. Louis was fast, Detroit MASHED! Or at the least, different batter abilities
Add single game, best of 3/5/7 option
Short home run cinematic ala Bad News Baseball.

Lots to do. Taking a lot of inspiration from the baseball games I grew up with, MLB on Intellivision, RBI Baseball, Bases Loaded, Bad News Baseball, just to name a few. Still very early on in this project. But with Spring Training in full swing thought we could all use our fill in baseball. Been playing with a few friends and it is a quick and fun game at the moment. We'll see how much I can implement in the upcoming future. I'll be wracking my brain trying to figure out the ball physics, baserunners, fielders throwing.

Hope you enjoy

So far since initial post I've added:
Title Screen
Team Names
How many innings
scoreboard after title screen and between every half inning
old school flashy head fans in the crowd
new controls for defense (pitching / hitting controls the same per user, will change)
Ability to curve ball in flight to home plate like RBI Baseball and other old school baseball games
New outfield wall
Changed pitch speed to make a better difference in contact zones
took away catcher's ability to catch ball before the ball went into the field of play

Adding next:
  • swinging strikes
    working scoreboard
    right / left pitchers hitters

Hopeful but a little stuck, however, watching many tutorials and will get it at some point hopefully
  • baserunning
    throwing to bases for outs
    better ball physics, fly balls, ground balls (z axis?)
    team select (Not sure if I can use MLB teams, so planning on going the old school route and using City and fake names)

Will do:
  • art being redone but I'm starting to like the simplicity. But at the least some pitcher batter animations. and hats.

Glitches at the moment:
  • after an out or homerun the ball goes to the centerfielder (it is actually “going to pitcher” but it is early and I can't find the script making it appear, thinking of adding a wait until backdrop=pitcherhitterview then show, but haven't yet.)hit
    sometimes innings go bezerk, only had it happen like 2 times out of 40 games.
    hitting batter bat behind his head and causing contact
    Sometimes the scoreboard screen shows early or sometimes too quickly
    When starting the program the 3rd question comes first but when lands in its x,y coordindate switches to the correct question.

I think it is the best sport ever! I'm not to good at hitting that much, but I'm good at defense.
