tansellPeterKirby, cool00:02
tansellPeterKirby, at the moment progress is fairly slow as people are busy with RL00:02
PeterKirbyit appears that Python is the language of choice, with C++ being used for compiled code00:03
tansellmost of the clients are written in Python00:03
tansellwhile the primary server is written in C++00:03
tansellalthough we have a secondary server written in Python00:04
PeterKirbyah ok. i also noticed two text clients, one in C++ and one in Python00:04
tansellboth are pretty trivial00:04
PeterKirbyhah ya00:05
tansellthe advanced clients are tpclient-pywx and tpclient-pyogre00:05
tansellthe first being a dialog based 2d one, the second being eye candy 3d one00:05
tansellwe have an AI in java and another AI in python00:07
tansellso what are you most interested in?00:10
PeterKirbynot sure. i found it browsing through a bunch of sf.net projects.00:10
PeterKirbythere's a cognate project called freeorion that seems to be suffering from design by committee.00:11
tansellcognate?00:11
PeterKirbysimilar00:11
PeterKirbyspace 4x00:11
tansellI know of the freeorion project, friends with the lead developer00:11
PeterKirbyi don't really know; i have only been lurking on their forum off and on for a few years.00:12
PeterKirbythe thousandparsec project seems to speak to what open source projects do well, settle on standards and such while allowing for extensibility. (it seems sometimes that there are as many 'engines' to do things in OS as there are actual projects, e.g., content management systems and game making engines)00:13
tanselltrue00:14
tansellat the moment we are concentrating on getting singleplayer mode out00:14
PeterKirbywhat is needed? AI, client, server, or all three?00:14
PeterKirbyi think working on the AI would be interesting00:21
tansellboth AI and client stuffl needs the most work00:28
