Getting Started

• Setup your [DevelopmentEnvironment]
• the user interface currently being developed is the web UI
• I'm mostly developing with Firefox
• [FirstRun] of the web application
• Trying the [OpenGL-Version]

Development

• Client-side Development?
• Server-side Development

Quick Docu

• The -Ddebug vmarg parameter executes an automated script that creates a game state. This probably changes with the current state of development
• The browser takes these optional paramters
  • username
  • password
  • gameID
• These users are created automatically upon server start. A simple refresh on tabs with these URLs works therefore even if the server is restarted.

Ideas and Tasks

Very useful, if

• there was a possiblity to create unit tests to execute game logic without UI for developing/testing
• there was an easy and fast possibility to design UI; currently it takes quite some time; GWT overhead?

Next things to do

• decide on server-side data model, design
• placing transports + UI
• placing Z-axis + UI
• implement hand cards
  • cards on the users hand
  • a deck to draw from
  • a pile of discarded/used cards
  • a deck with technology cards
  • technology cards with permanent effect
  • a deck with event cards (shared by all players)
  • played event cards, which still have/will have effect
• create a UI for executing build orders
  • UI with all build options to choose from
  • assign workers to resource fields
  • place newly build units/transports
• create a UI for executing research orders
  • have a list of all research options (e.g. as table)
  • assign workers to resource fields
• create a UI for executing mobilize orders
  • drag&drop of existing units
  • battle assignments
• ...
