FTC Scouting Logger

About

This is a completely customizable resource for FTC teams for pre-match scouting. There are many features you can tweak to your liking and customize. To run it you will run the logger.py. All configuration options are in config.txt. Only edit every other line otherwise it will not work. You can change every question in questions.txt, but make sure you follow the same format as demonstrated. I recommend keeping team name and number otherwise it might throw an error while saving any image.

Features

How to use

• The only file you need to change is questions.txt or config.txt, the format is 'question':type for type, you can use type for a typing question, draw for a drawing question, or yn for a yes no question
• You must have a question for team number and name for the file to save correctly
• If you want an end message, put 'end':done at the end of questions.txt
• It will automatically store the questions and answers in log.txt, if you want to change the name, change it in config.txt under the name fileToOpen
• You will also be able to change the colors of the window, here is a link to all color options provided (http://cs111.wellesley.edu/archive/cs111_fall14/public_html/labs/lab12/tkintercolor.html)
• You can also change the title of the window, change it in config.txt under the name title
• Width and height are the width and height of the window, you can change it in config.txt, it uses text digits, so it might be a weird number
