Hi, my friends and I were really thrilled to find this project! We're amateur
web designers and programmers but we'd really like to help out with the
project. We're currently in college, although we're (Lord-willing) graduating
in a few weeks. We play stratego a couple of times a week and thought about
developing our own program that we can play each other through the computer.
Anyway, could we help with the project in any way? Also, we weren't able to
find the .java files in the latest version since it is all compiled.

You can get the source code through the SVN. Development of this project is at
a crucial point because I'm redesigning the server and having trouble finding
free time. Take a look at the source code first and tell me what you think.
I'm sure we can find something for you to do.

K, found the source code. I don't know if we'd be much help for the AI aspect
of the game, however I'm sure we could be of help with the gameplay. One of
our goals is to be able to play stratego online against each other for free.
What is your overall goal(s) and plan(s) for this project? Where do you need
help?

As of now you can play online with your friend.
Just connect to cs.smu.ca on port 10101, or set up your own server.
Right now you are matched up with a opponent on a first come first server
basis with this server, but I am working on extending the server to include a
game lobby and chat. I would say right now where I need the most help is in
finishing off the new lobby interface for the client.

Yeah we tried that last night. Only one of the comps could connect. Perhaps it
because we were on the college's computers. Anyway, I tried today from home
and got the error "connection refused: connect" Anyway, we can help with the
new lobby interface, but it will have to be after Wednesday. We have finals
this week and we're done on Wednesday.

Ok, I am all done with the semester, so I have a lot of time freed up. How can
we help with the lobby interface? What needs to get done that we could help
with? All you planning on doing it in Java, PHP, etc?

If you look in the ...stratego.player package you will see all the gui classes
start with a W. The classes in question are the WLobby and the WConnect
classes. Take a look at them and then we can decide what to do.

I found your project 3 days ago, downloaded your source and made enhancements.
Trouble is, my few days of fun are over and I don't have time to officially
join the project, do checkins etc. I've fixed two bugs with the latest 23
version which you should know about and are trivial to fix. One is a null
exception startup up on Mac OS X and the other a null pointer bug people are
likely to hit in AIEngine. Is there someone in the project I can send these
simple fixes to?
Here are enhancements I made: 1. Provide an Undo move button. 2. Allow the
user to choose one of the built-in board setups. 3. Skins load button now
opens at the skins directory. I'd be glad to send someone a zip of my source
files if anyone is interest in looking over my changes.
Thanks, and happy playing!

If you are sure you aren't going to make anymore changes you can just e-mail
me the code.
