I haven't used Java since 2000, when I did an online casino. What tools are you using, these days?

What do you mean by 'tools'? I don't really think I'm using tools (apart from the compiler and ide...)

Jcreator. IDE + compiler. Running the server from command line, running the clients from ide.

In related news, this is proving somewhat difficult because everything must be abstract and extendable - it is far easier to create a game than the foundation for one, because the foundation requires programming generally, which is (to me) much harder than filling in the specifics.
I'm replanning parts of the thing, and writing out what each part does. |

Development is going pretty well.
I've noticed that adding networking more than doubles the work. No problem, the original project without networking would have been child's play. Also, I've decided that this won't do unless I create a graphical interface for the client. Server is obviously a console app, but the client would do well to be a Frame. The game will also need a chat system. (Heh, that's remarkably easy now that I know how to make it.) I'm currently in the process of creating the protocol for the system. I have all of the basic packet types finished, and am now working on those pertaining to the game (card play, etc.) Fun. Learned quite a bit already. |

Sounds like fun project... I could, uhm, apply it to a card game I've all but forgotten about, lately...

Once I started work, it did hit me that it could be applied to that one, so I'm making sure that this can be applied to any card game (within reason). Not just casino cards.
Talking of which, I suppose I abandoned it as well, but it is true that I kept posting for two weeks after nobody else had... If (when) this works, I can make a return trip and see what I can do. |

Yeah, like any good open source project, there are significant lull times.

I made a thread in the card forum (yeah, like anyone but you will read it). I'm not going to worry about it until this is done, tested, and found stable enough to be 'released' (allow people to use it without requiring them to dig through the server stuff to fix tons of bugs).
Talking of which, I see there's not a single spam thread on your main forum. When I was there six months ago, 80% were c1al1s offers... |

Yeah, I still have to delete the spam every day, even with email validation and captcha images turned on...
