New functionality in the latest Cric Counter release
The focus of our most recent Webscope Labs day was adding new functionality to our iOS and Android app, Cric Counter. The main piece of functionality we added was the ability to save innings, which is as easy as clicking the Save Innings button and entering a name.

The main piece of functionality we added was the ability to save innings, which is as easy as clicking the Save Innings button and entering a name. You can now load a previously saved inning - if you needed to stop the game for a BBQ break, you can now pick up your scoring where you left off. And of course, you can view the list of previously saved innings, in case you need to stop scoring arguments in their tracks or brag to your friends.
We’d like to see screenshots of clever team names or high scores, so send them through to us!
We also managed to squeeze in a little bit of work on our CI workflow which makes deploying to websites on Pantheon quicker and easier for us. Recently, we have been moving away from managing our own build servers in favour of CodeShip. CodeShip is a hosted platform that provides Continuous Integration & Delivery as a Service, running automated tests and handling deployment pipelines.
We’d already configured CodeShip so that any time code is pushed to a repo, a copy of the website is built and the automated tests we’ve written are run against the copy of the website. Now, every time the test suite passes, the code commits that triggered the tests will be automatically deployed to a copy of the website on Pantheon, ready for us to demo to the client or deploy to production.
