[Rails-devel] Stepping back and taking inventory

[Brett L. <wak...@ea...>]

I just wanted to take a moment to step back from the code and take stock of where the whole application is at and see what we've got left to do before 1830 is "working" well enough to release for wider public consumption.

Here's the things that I can see are left to do:

1. Fix tile rotation bug.  Hex F20 (the double town north of NYC) doesn't allow all legal tile rotations.
2. Add tile upgrade restrictions. Currently there's nothing stopping upgrading to green tiles before the first 3-train has been purchased.
3. Add private purchasing limits.  Similar to #2, there's nothing stopping purchasing of privates before the first 3-train has been purchased.
4. Finish off the token playing UI. As we've discussed over the last day or two.
5. Finish token drawing code. Relies on #4. We currently only handle single tokens in a hex.
6. Add token blocking. We're not currently checking for space in a station before playing a token.

I'm not sure what the status of the private company's special abilities are, so that's a possible #7.

Right now route counting requires looking at the tooltips of each hex to see the city's value. While cumbersome, it's not something that needs fixing just yet.

So, on the whole, it's a rather short list.  I like that. :-)
