World Cup - Terminal Style
A quick mockup of a world cup bracket-and-information site, stylized to the theme of a linux terminal
Overview
I wanted to do some work with C# and the .NET framework. In general I’ve been getting more C-related work in since I’ve been in the midst of trying to get some long-term electronics projects up.
In the meantime, the World Cup has taken up a significant amount of my free time and so I thought I’d whip up a quick project for the occasion.
Essentially, I’ve just made a world cup bracket with some dummy information, all to the theme of a terminal interface.
The Site
Features
Immediately we have the basics: weekly fixtures, the cup bracket, and team stats.
What I want to challeng myself with though are features like posesion heatmaps, player insights, and -most interesting if I can do it- overall team stat rating + attributes (think FIFA card attributes). However these numbers are all fabricated to demonstrate the visuals, I haven’t figured out a good way to actually collect and calculate these insights.
Updates
[6.22.26]
I’d really like to get the information right reflective of live events. Ideally, I figure out a clean solution for leveraging futmob’s match updates because I’ve found they have the best up-to-date projections of the brackets as we move into the final week before the round of 32
Ideas
[6.22.26]
- Player sprites. If I can manage some extra spare time, it’d be a cool add.
