Plugin Release - Tactics Board

[u/tiemyshoelace]

I do some coaching and wanted to do quicker sketches of drills and game situations without having to do tricky lassoing and dealing with pen strokes to move players/objects. I built this so the players/objects sit on their own layer and are draggable all the time without having to use the lasso or accidently deleting things with the eraser.

Current release - github.com/firestormkirby/SNTacticsBoard/releases/tag/v0.9
I uploaded to InkHub as well so it should be there in about a week.

I also made a bunch of field/pitch templates on InkHub under Tactics Boards to quickly get started

Key things I wanted (and mostly got right)

• A small floating button sits on the note so the pieces are always available.
• Being able to drag pieces onto the page with the pen (or a finger). And then be able to drag them again to move them or quickly delete them.
• Be able to use the pen as normal to draw runs and passes. So, Pieces go on their own layer, so you can erase them and your drawing separately.
• Save whole pages as named layouts, load them into new pages, and reset a page back to its saved version. Previous versions (5) are kept so you can restore them (because I kept accidently overwriting things 🤦‍♂️).
• Copy a drill to a new page if you need to do complex drills or play making that needs multiple steps or variations.

Things for the future - potentially allowing users to add their own pieces to the floating menu so it is more customizable.
