Humble beginnings of "Fumble"
I have started an open source Blood Bowl client, called Fumble, that will target LRB5. It is currently in the prototype stage and I have implemented a layout that I feel covers everything (although not all of it is immediately obvious).

There are various motivations:
  1. I want an open source client
  2. I am not satisfied with the UI of JavaBB
  3. It appears JavaBB has many issues that hinder it's improvement
  4. I have much more control creating a nice UI than you do in normal Java (I use an environment called Vexi)
  5. Because I can =)


Here's a screenshot of the client so far.

Suggestions are welcome. Feedback in this thread please.

It is open source and can be acquired from subersion:
svn co http://fumble.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fumble/trunk/fumble
cd fumble
./run_client.bat

I make no promises on timescale (could be ready tomorrow, could never become a playable client) nor will "think aloud" about how to implement the ruleset and server-side of it - details will come with implementation. Nor am I looking for any help at the moment. Nor do I expect anybody to wait or ever use this unless it becomes good enough for FUMBBL.

I have the utmost respect for SkiJunkie and JavaBB and it is an inspiration for my own project so far. I hope JavaBB keeps getting better and better, this is not an attempt to divert attention or resources from it. This is just a humble beginning.
