This application has the goal of making it easier the organization of a championship of Carrom.
Its short codename, SoL, may stand either as Scarry On (GNU)/Linux or as Scarry On Line, until a better description comes out. Both are a bit imprecise, because
In turn Scarry, the ancestor of SoL, was named after the word I’m used to call Carrom with, Scarambol.
Scarry was a Delphi application I wrote years ago, with the equivalent goal. It started as a “quick and dirty” solution to the problem, and Delphi was quite good at that. It served us for years, with good reliability, but since I find programming in that claudicant environment really boring, there was no way I can be convinced to enhance it further.
This is a complete reimplementation, restarting from scratch: it’s built exclusively with free software components, so that I won’t be embaraced to public the whole source code.
