Show HN: Tennis Rallies Poster Generator

tunafighter1 pts0 comments

Hello, I wanted to share a little project I ve been building : it turns tennis rallies into posters : https://matchpoint.jeremygautrais.fr.Each rally is written as a short code that describes the point shot by shot.The notation comes from the Match Charting Project, a project that records pro matches by hand. If you re curious, here s their beginner s guide : https://www.tennisabstract.com/blog/2015/09/23/the-match-cha....In that system a rally looks like 5f2f3b3b1w# , where each character is one shot : where it landed, forehand or backhand, and how the point finally ended.For this project I picked the match-winning rallies they ve recorded so far (the open dataset is here : https://github.com/JeffSackmann/tennis_MatchChartingProject), so every poster is the very last point of a match.You can also type in any sequence you like and make your own custom poster.You can then tweak the look. The shape of the curves, the court, the surface, and the colors, either by type of shot or by player.Happy to hear your feedback on it. Have fun with it!
