Hi all,
My work has tasked me with building a program to show the efficiency of our packing crew (fun I know) which I designed in JS and JQ on a HTML page and was told it looks too totalitarian and there was no pause function for the function i was using! Fair enough.
The idea is that I need a HUD that allows user input of how many batches to do a day, which is translated into batches per hour based on time left in the day (till 1700 say). A timer starts and ticks down to 00:00 at which point the target batch number turns to 1 and the timer restarts. There is a secondary functionality that each batch consists of 70 boxes, which ticks from 0 to 70 in time correlating to the batch time (stay with me!).
Hopefully that makes sense. My idea for visual representation was to have a box on the left of the screen and a box on the right. The left slowly fills up with spawned boxes in the time it takes for a batch to be made. (so 1:00:00 to make a batch, 70 boxes falling of the course of that hour into the box) on the right is the target batch, and on the press of a button (space) all the boxes will fall into the box and they get a score of 1.
There must be pause start functionality for the timer, and possible a menu of sorts. Further down the line I want to add an efficiency score and a table at the end of the day to see how they stacked up against the timer. This last bit will be added after, I think i have enough on my plate.
I have some knowledge of the EU4 engine but it’s not all that, i’ve only created a few levels to jump around, followed the Epic tuts online and learnt enough for me to put something simple together.
So, is this possible? Any ideas for a direction/workflow/suggested tutorials.
Thanks for reading,
