Re: [Opengate-devel] GUI

[Tim B. <ab...@sl...>]

The most logical thing to do for a game is to send AI decisions
(including random seeds) to the client, and let all the clients
interpret those to movement and such using those values (instead of
updating the speeds, directions, variables over the network). 

Using a meta-server isn't just cool, it keeps scalability. And since we
have a skilled developer working in that area it would be a waste of
human resources, talent and creative input to think we don't need it. 

Better make suggestions to give it a more crucial role in the entire
scheme of things and enhance the implementation. 

Secondly managing multiple servers is the right idea if you want to
maintain an image of transparency and give the project the chance to
dynamically grow (people could host their own sectors for example). 

The meta server is the point where all our efforts come together -
whether your are developing the server or the client, you can't get
around it. 

Sincerely,
Tim
