This is a Java-based scoreboard for use in Open Broadcaster Software as a Score Board (in the vein of Score Board Edit by Zou).
It was initially built as a way for people unable to run SBE on their device (as it is based on the .NET framework), and as a way for me to practice programming Java. As such, the code is incomplete and can be improved.
It is primarily for use in streaming fighting game tournaments, and lets you change the score in the match, or change the players' names in between matches very easily.
- Updated comments to show what each function actually does
- Renamed "Misc" and "Label" to "Tournament Name" and "Tournament Round"

java -versionIf you are running a Windows system, enter Windows/Scoreboard and execute scoreboard.exe.

Running the program will create the output folder as well as all of the necessary files in Other Platforms/Output.
In OBS, in your scene, add a new text source. In its properties (which will probably pop up after you've created it), check the Read from file option. Then browse your files until you find the Output folder containing your files. Choose the TXT file you want OBS to read from and the text in OBS will automatically update as you update the TXT file.
Make sure that your Text plugin is updated by going into Tools → My Plugins.
Then, you add a Text source, check mark Use Custom Script and click the button labeled Edit Script. Make sure the template is set to Load Text from Local File and set the path to the TXT file of your choice and the text in XSplit will automatically update as you update the TXT file.
