Figured I'd start posting here and there on progress & what I'm
up to so that you can see things moving forward.
Added support for multiple monitors today (tying the game to a
specific display & moving it via options in-game), and improved
the way the game handles resolution.
Also moved back to the old "blue glass" buttons on a lot of the
screens.

I'll add the new home screen in here also. Not finished yet, but
Newspaper is removed and has a full calendar instead now.

Just my OCD happening, but could you move the line on the ladder
1 up on the front page so it has the top 8 above the line?

Haha yep, thanks mate. Still some tidy up to do there on both
the ladder and the calendar (getting aligned at the top etc).
Good eye though - that'll be helpful, cause the UI isnt my
strong suit

Tidied some more screens up today & starting to work in the
Player detail tooltips for every grid (image attached).
Menu hook and base page for free agency is added - now figuring
out how this thing will look.

Some solid progress on Free Agency today - turns out its a
pretty sizeable task, but coming together slowly.
Full contract negotiation UI is brought down into the player
profile & working
Offers now tracked on the player & persisted to XML (survive
save/reload as expected)
Offers also tracked per club & isplayed for players club on the
main FA screen
Next up will be work around the AI side of things - having
players decide on contracts. Having AI clubs offer them.
Need to be able to Modify/Delete offers.
Restricted FA matching process still to come + AFl granted
compensation picks.
Will also look at obfuscating the offer values into ranges as we
discussed (i do like that approach)

Slow week so far - what time I've had has been spent bogged down
in the AI logic for Free Agency. Slow going, and l=not a lot to
report but progressing.

Took a break from Free Agency stuff and spent the day yesterday
working on the home screen & calendar in particular.
Ugly as it was, the more i thought about it, i really liked the
functionality of the old calendar and wanted that on the home
screen. Clicking on any day in the future to sim to that point,
clicking the matches to see result detail, or previews - all
feels like it belongs front & center as a key navigation tool.
Has been challenging, migrating all that into the home screen to
fit alongside the messages and ladder - much less screen real
estate to work with. Fitting match info in those little calendar
cells without being so small that they're unreadable. I'll rely
on rich tooltips - similar the the new player rating popups on
grid row hover -to show match results from the calendar and will
end up with short, clickable links: EG Adel Vs Freo, or Adel Def
Freo. Likely a few more days worth of work left here.

For what it's worth Grenville, I used to click on the day on the
Calendar all the time in PC2010, but ever since PC2011
introduced that whole news / ladder / inbox / week view I've
pretty much always used the "Next" button to cycle from the
Friday -> Monday -> Friday, etc.
When you click on the Calendar in 2011 I tend to miss the news
paper articles, which I enjoy reading. Especially the ones about
"This club has x" or the match previews and results and the
records and stuff. Really nice touches those.

Pretty big weekend just gone - between my Wife's 40th Saturday,
and recovery Sunday I only managed a handful of hours work. Got
some more of the calendar done, but that's about it.
I mentioned on Bigfoot and to a couple of you that BigAndStudios
started following me over there. Most likely just keeping tabs
on things, but this is the most likely road to a full 3d
matchday if there ever is one, so found it interesting.
