This
week we received a list of projects for the IO from SA Astatine:
- Guidelines
for TC homepages
- Revive
The Holonet Journals
- Review
current services and webpages to check that they are up to date
and up to standard.
- Complete
the EH site redesign
The
Holonet Journals will replace ANN, so we will try to fit any articles
we received ANN into THJ. But THJ is mainly a humoristic kind
of publication, and you can see previous issues through the link
at the end of the report. IOA Alex Foley will be working with
me as he did for previous issues. Hopefully, we can get an issue
out soon with the submissions we currently have. I will also be
working in conjunction with FA Priyum on the TC homepage guidelines.
AD Leeson is still heading the EH design team.
In
terms of side-projects, we've got Alex Foley's SquadFirst template
which is almost done, with just the backend being left to be done.
CyberGuy and JaM3z are working on a similar project for offices.
This
past week, I've been working on upgrades to Sabacc Online, and
I have released version 2.3 which includes some fixes for betting
and the Hall of Fame. But mainly I've been working on the next
release, version 3.0, which will include a Multiplayer-enabled
version of Sabacc. After doing quite a bit of research on PHP
sockets, I've successfully formed a concept of how MP Sabacc will
work via a client/server interface. Essentially, the client and
server communicate through text messages and commands; the server
handles the backend of the game and the client is the GUI frontend.
Sabacc 3.0 will allow BHG players to play against each other in
a game of up to 4 people. Though the server is almost done, the
client is going to take up the bulk of the time for writing code
(plus starting next week I'm going to be busy at school at night
with play rehearsals), and after that a lengthy alpha and beta
testing period will ensue. I don't expect to release it for at
least a month with all the time that's necessary to be put into
it. Hopefully though, it will kick up activity EH-wide and possibly
bring in new members. Stay tuned for more info!
