Plans: 10-Apr-2010

The major problems, or challenges
The playbook programs were all based on different code so 7 different programs to maintain. From version 010 there should only be 2 code bases.
Goal:
The basketball playbook program should go to version 010 as soon as possible.

Version 010
The loading of plays should be updated, now it sometimes looks like the program hangs.

Version 011 and beyond
The programs should be resizable, 640x480 might have been the norm 10 years ago it is now just too small.
Goal:
Create a resizable play viewer, apply what is learned to the playbook programs.
First image, the new view tab, 11 February 2010.

If a user wants anti-aliased lines this should be possible.
Goal:
First use this in the play viewer then in the playbook programs.

The flash output of big plays uses to much resources:
Goal:
The flash output should use less resources when played in a html window.
