Antlog is now online!

Yes, after much effort there is now an online version of Antlog to allow advance signup for events, immensely speeding up the set-up of an event.

Go to antlog.garya.org.uk and create a team (user) by clicking on "New User" in the navigation bar.

When you have created a team you will be logged in automatically. Next click on the big "Robots" button, then click "New Robot" to create a new robot. Repeat as necessary for all your ants, fleas and nanos (more than 4 of any type is fine). You can choose which robots to enter each event.

Antlog is also offline!

For running an event, a local version of Antlog is used so that the event is not dependent on an internet connection.

If you encounter any problems let me know by email or PM, giving as much detail as possible.

Antlog 3.0.1
The latest release of Antlog3 is now online and will be used at AWS50.

From the release notes:
A few usability enhancements and minor improvements/bug fixes.

Robot and team dropdown lists are now sorted alphabetically.
Entrants view can now be filtered by status - #62
Team view now shows upcoming and previous fights for each robot in the team - #11
Class of robot is checked against class of event during signup - #60
Entrants created by Admin need to be tech checked, don't go straight to "entered" - #64
Help pages added to Antlog rather than relying on the Github wiki - #63
Various improvements to the install script.
So a few improvements to the administrative tasks of signup and tech checks to fix some frustrations at AWS49, some online help and better validation to assist with online signup and an almost single-click installation (or the closest I can get!).

Also, a new feature that was asked for a while ago: If you go to your team's page (or any other team's page for that matter!) you can see all the forthcoming fights for each robot in the team. You can also see the results of all previous fights for each robot.

Feedback, suggestions, bug reports always welcome! :)
