The custom tracker grew out of adr's FFR bingo site, realizing that updating the bingo board and updating a tracker is virtually the same code. Wanted a 4p bingo layout and made one integrated in the site. It later expanded with more options and got a big expansion for the 2022 FFR marathon, much of it written in a bit of a rush.
The goal of this page is to gather outstanding bugs, ideas, and resources to drive ongoing work on the system in a place where it is easier to share and find than scrolling up and down on discord.
We can make bullet points or whole sections; nothing is too big or too small to jot down. Also feel free to expand on existing ideas and summarize debate points in case a decision needs to be made among options.
FF4 can be split as it is per-seed. have equipment and ability shuffle info displayed.
clean up metroid room tracker to follow lines more closely
wrap game name in div for centering.
make sure other names are never cut off, more div wrappers can help
soul blazer items need expansion, many items got lost in the first spritesheet file (darkmoon posted expanded file to discord somewhere)
z3 items need more progressivness added back
16:9 options for gameplay screen (it can realistically just letterbox the existing area, showing either a special background or just clipping back in the original background and adjusting the box.)
sound playing icon for player
hollow knight items could be improved with a screenshot from the marathon providing a better look
automatically highlighting speaking commentator (check discord client api on restreamer's end)
zelda 1 tracker could count triforce pieces.
auto-checking donation info, see https://tiltify.github.io/api/entities/fundraising-event.html
team display box could offer images instead of just bingo colors
Add time estimate bellow timer
Add host name
If only one commentator, center the name in box vertically
Regarding restreaming, think of a way to get a better image quality from streams. Not using Discord video streaming since quality can shift and if there's an issue with discord, we're screwed.
Think of a better way for restreamers to output audio/video if runner is commentating.
Check how obs-ndi works for restreamers. Could also do a rtmp server. Need to investigate
