mdiluz / ttrts Goto Github PK

These are pretty redundant, and in the interests of simplicity we should probably remove it as a feature. Clients, or visualisation algorythmns can work it out pretty easily

The test target currently doesn't check many features of the game engine.
It should also somehow test the actual ttrts binary for functionality as well

There's some pretty terrible naming conventions, and camelCase vs PascalCase.

I think it would be nice to clean this up

format does not have line end on version line and text has no version numbers

Maps should be placed somewhere in /etc/

API's should go somewhere useful.

Dynamic libraries somewhere else?

The game should store version information.

Version should be represented as MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.

This will allow the AI and the game to have compatibility checks.

Currently these might be:

• Attacking as a charge
• Units leaving walls

This will help with compatibility checks

It should have information on build dependencies and how to build.

It would be useful to have an EOF flag to note that the file has finished being output.
This should apply as well to the command files.

Additionally this should mean that the game must verify order files have been completed, and not just rely on creation time.

This should also mean that there can be additional lines before the ~~~~ line, allowing for more info

It's a little confusing at the moment

These should be unified

Currently we do not have windows support.
This should not be too hard to set up, as most code is cross platform.

To note, some of the file spec code uses POSIX functionality which will need to be changed.
A few build steps as well use POSIX system functions.

At the moment, a shared file system can be used to host games over a network, but an implementation using sockets would greatly enhance this experience.

Theoretically, this implementation could replace the base file-system method, and a "text command player" binary could act as the file-system<-->sockets bridge, letting file-system based AI's still be used.

At the moment it just outputs debug information.

Perhaps this output should be only shown with a verbose mode, and it should really just display the game map in it's current state.

Currently the AI code is within this repository, but it should be pulled out and the main documentation should list external repos that contain fun examples of AI
