ZED Online Reviews

Thanks for the review! You are right at some point the pathfinder needs a complete rewrite. The game itself is written in C++ but the menu is basically just a browser that displays the files in the "ui" folder. Sciter (a small browser) is used which also support a variant of JavaScript. There are some C++ functions exposed to JavaScript. The game server list/online highscore is using PHP + SQLite. Just some basic reads and writes to tables in a database (most importantly the table of active game servers). You can have a look at the .html files in the ui folder and edit them freely. I am not really good at layout and frontends, so if you want to improve something, go ahead I would also include it in the official release if you like. Something that is bothering me is the lack of translation for the menu. There is is also a forum + Slack channel here: https://zzforum.lewe.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=21899 if you want to share ideas/discuss with other fans.

Thanks for the review! The turrets not turning when attacking is something I have thought about a little. I am not sure really what the best approach is. It might give to much of an edge to expert players and I feel its a bit of learning curve for new players. Its also hard to attack with a lot of units at the same time when one has to keep the turret rotation in might. I think attacking players should get an edge via the turret position but I am not quite sure about the exact implementation. If you wanna join the project, take a look what is interesting to you. User interface? Its actually written in html, so very simple to change. Support for more languages? Go ahead in the localizer.cpp. If you wanna create maps, you can tell me what features you would like me to add to the map editor. By the way, there is also some Lua script support to play around with.
