I had a project for doing a Generic ,Web technology Based ,Rogue Like with pluggable data representation. (2D,Isometric , "Dungeon Master" pseudo 3D) I was contacted by Michael Toennies to do some graphics but my real skills are in the Software Engeneering Domain.(even if i can indeed do some graphics) So, i proposed Michael to help you on CF ,by doing a Java Based Client. By now, the main need is to do a efficient and complete Map Editor. I Accept the challenge to do it in Java. I've got several interesting propositions for both the Server,The Client and the Protocol. I think one of the biggest lack on this project is a really well done architecture description document (with a lot of figures explaining the role of each logical component (maps, tiles, server ,client , data flows)) I think it will help everybody to have it (me first). By then , i think i can help you concerning modelization issues. For the Editor, i did download the CF Java editor and the client. I'll work as often as i can on this very good project. See ya Soon. Sebastien. My note isn't strictly about CF but rather about how to make and keep the development of the Java client as clear and understandable as possible. I presently use Together Control Center to build Java programs with good documentation. It is a tool letting to develop your application in a top-down fashion using UML diagrams. It allow also reverse engineerng so you can take your source code, import it into Together and let it generate class diagrams. It build automatically the program and its associated documentation using Javadoc or other built-in generators. It is fully customizable and free (in fact partially but Fully free for academic people(me)). You can download it at togethersoft.com It work also with CVS.
