[Realtimebattle-discussion] Futur of RTB

[Benoit R. <rou...@es...>]

I'm sorry, I just realized I wasn't subscriber of this list, so I left
many messages without answers.
Unfortunatly, none of us have enough time to keep on programming RTB. I do
some minor modification from time to time, but it doesn't really lead to
anything.

The last release (1.0.5) is 2 years old, and I don't know how long it
would take to come to the version 2. Was it really a good idea to split
the two projects so quickly. And as say Alejandro, does it worth it to
have so many options : 
 every programmer will aim his robot to his
 preferred configuration and fewer opponents will be available

So I would like to have users opinion on this point : 
Would it be better to add only some few improvement or try to keep on
programming this new huge version ? (What I wanted to do a RTB v2 with the
new class structure but with nothing more than RTB v1 (a minimal version
of RTBv2), but I don't know if it is a good idea)

I don't know if it is possible to create a monthly pool like in freeciv.
This will help 'players' to get involved in RTB, and help us to know what
is really needed ! So as long as I don't know how to do it automaticly, I
will do it using mails or news.

For the developpers point of view, I think It is that a documentation will
help new programmers to get into RTB code instead of figuring out by
themself how it works. It's a real pain in the ... for me, still after 2
years.

And don't worry, RealTimeBattle will survive!!!
