4.0: Rework UI, reorganize the code, add more functionality

[joaorb64]

I'm going to have this registered here, I am now working something that is almost like a new start to the program. Seeing old functionalities not making sense anymore and new possibilities I learned recently, I think it's time to take a few steps back before going forward again.

• Transform the main selection to TOURNAMENT. This is the program's main focus, right?
• Downloading autocomplete from a tournament not only does not work but also does not make sense. If you're using SmashGG, you're already using "Select Set". If not, I think autocomplete should load in the background as you set a tournament, so that it will just magically have every player as an autocomplete option.
• Add Challonge support, as long requested. SmashGG offers so much more data, but I guess for some TOs it seems too complicated...?
• Add a bracket tab
• Add support for dynamic player slots -- support for doubles, teams (team games?)
• Add a tournament info tab
• Add a intermission tab with wait message, timer
• Add commentators somewhere

Project-wise:

• Start using QT Designer -- easier and quicker to make UI edits, cleans up a LOT of code; I can see translation support also being a thing!
• Have at least one class per tab
• Create sub-classes from Qt's widgets for cleaner code and less code repetition
• Have more user feedback for async features. Example: Currently, when you click "Select Set", it takes a few seconds to execute. There is no visual indication of anything.

I'm starting to rework the entire UI and code. Let's go :)

Looking good!

More progress!

• When a team has more than 1 member, there's an additional form for team name;
• That "commentary" thing by the bottom is detachable, the same for the scoreboard widget. You can reorder them, organize in tabs, use side-by-size, etc.

Here I put "Commentary" as a tab, and hid some forms using the eye button. There's an option for team name now that there are 2 players per team.

I'm starting to experiment with data exporting. Dude, I did this in such a hard way before! The code itself is small, and most things are "automatically" assigned by using the names I set on Qt Designer and QWidget.findChild!

[joaorb64]

Commentary widget implemented! :partying_face: I'll now shift focus on porting all previous features before working on any new widgets. We're getting there!!!

You can test it using the next branch.

Hard to even track all updates I made since the last post, but:

• Can set tournaments from SmashGG and Challonge
• For smashgg:
  • Doubles works; also loads team name;
  • When it opens, automatically start downloading tournament entrants in brackground and fills autocomplete; Also works for commentators, but still WIP for commentators;
  • Load player country/state and main (only when using autocomplete I think, it's just copy/paste of some code to add it from set selection)

[joaorb64]

Added the entrants download thing to challonge too, but you literally only get the player's display name... Maybe it will all come together once I add the database thing and make it so it loads from there. Let's see...

[joaorb64]

Made an initial implementation of the local Database. Now even with Challonge tournaments it loads player data from the local DB!!! Also the buttons on the bottom on the player widgets now work. I still have to solve how to deal with the fact that we have multiple games and a player might have multiple mains, so don't rely on this pre-alpha database system!

[joaorb64]

Also made it so the autocomplete works on the commentators widget! Maybe the elements here should reuse the ones for the players, including the save/update buttons... but I'll let any additional improvements for later. Right now, priority is to implement everything I had in the previous program version.

[joaorb64]

Thinking out loud, I should probably add stage related stuff to the scoreboard widget, since loading a set affects it. I want to be able to edit the stagelist and have it host a webapp for stage striking available in the local network 🥶

4.0 is here!
