IPL Tournament Simulator

Overview

This is a C-based simulator that models a complete IPL-style cricket tournament. It schedules matches, simulates scores, calculates team standings, and optionally simulates playoffs. It includes weather-based rescheduling and allows queries for team-wise and venue-wise schedules.

File Description

• main.c – The core logic for initialization, scheduling, simulation, and output.
• playoffs.h – Header file containing structures and logic for playoff simulation (must be present in the same directory).

Compilation Instructions

To compile the program, use a C compiler like gcc:

gcc main.c -o ipl_sim

Running the Program

Run the compiled binary:

./ipl_sim

Program Flow

1. Initializes 8 IPL teams and their cities.
2. Generates a full round-robin schedule (56 matches).
3. Randomly simulates weather issues and reschedules if needed.
4. Displays the full match schedule and writes it to schedule.txt.
5. Offers a menu:
   • Option 1: Display matches for a specific team.
   • Option 2: Display matches at a specific venue.
   • Option 3: Exit menu and continue.
6. Simulates all matches with random scores.
7. Displays the final points table and asks if playoffs should be simulated.

Outputs

• Console: Displays match schedules, team/venue-specific schedules, and final points table.
• File: schedule.txt contains the entire match schedule.

Dependencies

• Standard C Libraries:
  • stdio.h
  • stdlib.h
  • string.h
  • time.h
• Note: Ensure playoffs.h is implemented and included properly for playoff simulation to work.
