## Scorekeeper
|
||||
|
||||
**Scorekeeper** on the main menu is a pencil for games the app does not deal —
|
||||
darts, cribbage, whatever is actually on the table. Say how many are playing,
|
||||
name them, and write down what each of them scored every round; the running
|
||||
tally sits at the foot of the screen, where the one number anybody looks up is
|
||||
always visible.
|
||||
darts, cribbage, whatever is actually on the table. It is laid out as the paper
|
||||
it replaces: a column per player with their name at the head, a row per round
|
||||
running down the page, and the running total ruled off at the foot.
|
||||
|
||||
Players can be renamed, added, removed or **dragged into a different order** at
|
||||
any point in a game. That works because points are recorded against a player's
|
||||
id rather than their position, so reordering the sheet moves the columns and
|
||||
nothing else. Ids are handed out once and never reused: somebody sitting down
|
||||
where somebody else got up starts at nought instead of inheriting a stranger's
|
||||
score. Removing a player does take their points with them — a score nobody can
|
||||
see is a score nobody can correct.

|
||||
|
||||
Rounds are not written in ink. Tapping one reopens it for correction or lets it
|
||||
be struck out, and the totals follow.
|
||||
The bottom row is always the one being filled in. Finish it and it is written
|
||||
down, and a fresh empty row opens above the totals for the next round. The
|
||||
totals and that button stay put while the rounds scroll under them, so the
|
||||
tally is never off-screen.
|
||||
|
||||
Tap a column head to name it or remove that player; **drag it sideways to move
|
||||
the column**, and the whole column travels with the name. That works because
|
||||
points are recorded against a player's id rather than their position, so
|
||||
reordering the sheet moves the columns and nothing else. Ids are handed out
|
||||
once and never reused: somebody sitting down where somebody else got up starts
|
||||
at nought instead of inheriting a stranger's score. Removing a player does take
|
||||
their points with them — a score nobody can see is a score nobody can correct.
|
||||
|
||||
Rounds are not written in ink. Tapping a round number down the left edge opens
|
||||
that row for correction or lets it be struck out, and the totals follow.
|
||||
|
||||
Points are taken away by typing a minus, or with the **±** button, which flips
|
||||
the last number typed. Not every keyboard offers a minus on its number pad, and
|
||||
subtracting has to work on all of them.
|
||||
|
||||
The sheet is saved as it is edited, so leaving the app or taking a phone call
|
||||
does not lose the game. It is kept in its own DataStore rather than with the
|
