[regcom-devel] Project Update

[Randi J. R. <rjr...@us...>]

Welcome everybody. I updated the project home page to include a developer
page and also updated the source documentation to match the CVS snapshot.
For those who have not submitted a developer bio, they are not required but
I think they are a good way to get to know each other. I currently have most
of you listed under "developer" as a project role, please let me know if you
want to change roles.

Please post any thoughts and ideas you may have on this list. I am not going
to be making any specific project assignments at this time. The goal is to
come up with a modular set of libraries (LGPL?) that can be used together or
individually to create a variety of turn-based and real-time wargames. In
addition to full game implementations, this also includes using it to
experiment with different types of AI, rules systems, scripting languages,
user interfaces, etc.

I am currently separating the system into Game and Player objects. Unit
placement and basic movement will probably be in the next release. I am also
looking into client and server-side proxies for networked multi-player
support. There is a list of ideas posted in the DocManager section of the
SourceForge project page at http://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=4828.
Feel free to add to the list or pick an item and start putting some thoughts
together.
