Re: [Rails-devel] 1880 development

[Michael A. <out...@gm...>]

I'm in Marc's game.  Which is what pointed me in this direction. :)  The
group from Marc's game has played it a handful of times face to face, and
we really enjoy it, but we are a bit slow (taking maybe 8-9 hours to play)
and we are kind of tired of driving home as the sun rises...

Marc's game is being run in Rails 1.7.12, so it doesn't have a lot of the
functionality that exists in the specific_1880 branch.  We've had to fake
some things and keep track of stock prices that weren't being done
correctly.  So far we've been able to play, but there's a lot of things
being done "by hand" as well.

The approach I'm taking so far is to run a parallel game to Marc's from the
version in the specific_1880 branch to see how much more can be done there
and what the bugs/gaps are.  I'm still working through the first stock
round, but at least I'm to the point where the privates are sold and the
players are re-ordered.

It looks like there's been a lot of work already put into 1880, so it would
be a shame if we can't finish it off.
