I believe (and hope) that the project creator (and project leader as well as project manager ;-) is planning the work and that he'll give us new information soon (included the status of the JXTA's evaluation). Therefore I'd wait for his news. > Has JXTA been evaluated for the network layer ? looking at the homepage, it seems the right way to go. Nicola |

Anyway I've just noted that in the sourceforge CVS repository there is
code but it's very old. Maybe it could be useful to look around it.

hello everyone, First of all, i would like to wish to all of you an happy new year. i wish you all the best for 2006. So how should we start this JGamer project? The idea was to design the network protocol ,rules...first. Please let me know how to process and assign me tasks. regards Seb --------------------------------- Nouveau : téléphonez moins cher avec Yahoo! Messenger !

I'm sure that you've already thought a lot about that and so I'll wait for your ideas ;-). A question: what about cheating? For certain kind of games couldn't someone utilize a modified controller with unfair features? Should the controllers be signed? Nicola |

Name: Sebastien
citizenship: French
location: North pole, Finland
age: 23 years old
what i do: well studying .. master of software engineering
what i like: long night coding, having fun with friends, sauna and Party,Sport and reading fantasy books !!

Hello there!
You are receiving this message because you have contacted me regarding
joining my project: jGamer. I'm glad to see a much larger response
than I had anticipated.
I know I've spoken to some of you before about the project and so this
is not the first time I've spoken with you. However, for others, this
is our first contact. So some of the information contained in this
email you may have heard before but I wanted to get everyone on the
same page.
The idea behind jGamer is essentially a program that connects people
together to play a variety of tabletop games. I'm hoping to create
controllers for traditional games like chess, checkers, or poker but
also modern games like role playing games and collectible card games.
The network design is based on using a peer to peer network to bridge
together players and hosts of game controllers. I want to process of
connecting to a network to be seamless so there is no hunting around
for opponents. With a peer to peer network, we do not have to rely on
one person maintaining a server but only have to maintain seeding
sites like gwebcache used by Gnutella. Developing the network will
probably be the first thing we'll need to do and possibly before
writing any code, we should settle on the fundamentals of the
protocol. Connections to the network should be fairly seamless as
well. People behind firewalls can use HTTP to connect to the network.
I have a class or two that will help in this regard. Also, hosts that
are behind firewalls should be PUSHed to create a connection to a
requesting peer since they cannot receive connections.
A game controller represents a single game that can be played over the
network. A person can host one or more controllers (or none if they
wish or are not able) for people to interact with. When a peer wishes
to play a game, they search the network for available controllers.
Hosts will respond with a list of available controller for their host.
A peer then can contact any of the available controllers to create an
active game of their choice. At this point, it will be up to the
protocol but a peer can connect directly to the host, or send messages
to be routed to the host. I'm open to ideas here.
Another feature of the controller I would like to see is the ability
to shift controller states from one host to another. The idea here is
to handle cases when the controller needs to shut down. The host sends
a hosting request and any available hosts who wish to host that
controller may request to do so. The old host contacts the clients to
inform them of the change and the old host sends the state to the new
host. Also, the state of a controller can be stored by the peers for
resuming later. When two peers are playing a long game, they can pause
the state. When this happens, the state is split between the two peers
and the individual parts are stored with each peer. When they join the
network, they may search games needing to be resumed and if they do,
attempt to reconnect.
This project will also need interfaces to play games and interact with
the network. A standard Swing gui is a must but other types of
interfaces will be considered such as maybe a shell version, an applet
version, a XUL version, etc. I also want to create an interface for
java enabled cell phones and PDAs. Interfaces written in other
programming languages will also be acceptable. We may want say a C++
version or a Flash version for handhelds and cellphones that do not
have Java installed on them.
So basically we have a broad outline for the project. What to do
first? The first thing I think we should accomplish is to define the
protocol. That will help determine the shape of the network and the
classes that will need to be written.
What skills will be required for this project? Java is a big help of
course since this project will be written in Java but is by no means a
requirement. We'll need people who know web scripting for webcaches
and other languages for alternative interfaces. HTML, PHP, and MySql
for our website. Strong language skills (in a persons native language)
for documentation and translations. Basically if you are interested in
this project, I can find some use for you!
More about me. My name is Joel and I live in the United States in
Raleigh, NC. I'm 31 years old and recently married. I've have many
years experience in Java, C++, and Python as my core languages but
have used many others in the past. Until recently, I taught Java at a
local university. Currently the biggest news in my life is that I'm
building my own home. As a matter of fact, today it passed its final
inspection so I can begin to move into it. You can see some of the
pictures of the progress here:

I would like to hear a short a bio from each of you. I know some of
you have sent me something already but please prepare something for
sharing with the other members of our group. Also include a preferred
contact email. Tell us about who you are, what your background is, and
what you are doing now. I'll put together a developer profile to send
out to everybody.
I've also started a mailing list for us. Go to
http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=98600 for information about
signing up.
There is also an IRC group at freenode for us as well:
irc://irc.freenode.net/ channel #jgamer. Feel free to drop in and
chat.
Like I mentioned before because of finalizing my house, moving, and
the Christmas holidays, I may be not be in touch as often or as
quickly as I would like. If you contact me and don't hear from me,
please understand that I'll get to it as quickly as possible. After
the first of the year, hopefully things will have settled down enough
and I enjoy working more on this project.
Thanks again for getting involved with this project and I look forward
to hearing from you.
Joel
