Bowling app ideas?
« on: March 06, 2014, 07:22:41 AM »
I wanted to get into Android programming, so I've been working on a bowling stats app. Now that I've gotten a decent understanding of things, I'm looking for some suggestions and feature ideas. Right now, it does the basics: tracks frame by frame pin fall for league play and has basic stats that can be queried, by league, ball, lanes, oil pattern, etc. What other features would you suggest to add? Any feature that is missing from all of the other apps that you'd like to see? I'm just looking for some ideas for what I can work on next. If you are interested in seeing what is available so far, you can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wickert.bowlingnight

Here is your challenge, using the built in camera most phones have, create a RPM calculator.

Let the bowler have someone take a short video of their shot and your app could give the RPM, ball speed, possibly even tilt and axis rotation.

That's awesome ...and added to calculating revs and or axis and speed it could determine breakpoint and how it changes as games progress. That would be something

How about diagrams of how to pick up tricky spares.  Including where to stand.

When reviewing stats on leaves or opens, if your looking at the stays for all the times you've let say the 3-10, being able to see a list if the times you've left it and either view the notes you made during that frame or being able to click on a line in the list to take you to the frame/game where you left it to view the info you took during the frame.
