Thoughts for the next version of Connection: Players will build nodes which will connect to other nodes, rather than one player connecting to other players individually. Nodes can build defense and attack each other. "Super nodes" will provide the game with more resources. Players must connect to the super nodes and collect resources from them. Multiple games will exist at once, and each game can have different schedules to accomodate different play times. Game will be REST based, so others can create custom clients. Thoughts? |

Development is currently in progress. Try it out (Connection). IE really pissed me off right now. I'm tired of coming up with hacks to get it to work right. The new version is only three years away, though, so I've got that to look forward to. |

I'm finally finalizing the session management stuff, so players can bring up a node list and whatnot. I still need to create a login mechanism on the main screen. I'm also trying to decide on the layout. I don't like the two pane thing I have now. I might show the game list and then hide it once a game is selected. |

REST based? I like the idea of players voting to end a turn, although if alliances formed, someone could really get hosed. |

Building Web Services the REST Way The voting idea I had in mind would allow people to vote for an end to a turn, but the computer would only check to see if there were enough votes every hour or something, so even if people tried to gang up on another player, that player would still have a period of time during which they could take a turn. It wouldn't be possible to force five game updates in five minutes and ruin other players. I suppose it would still be possible to screw another player by forcing turns during hours which nobody really plays. |

REST based really is a double edged sword. didn't RTFA. |

Are you sure it's not a triple edged sword? |

You can almost join a game! Wahoo! |

Okay, now you CAN join a game! Double Wahoo! |

Popping the 100 week old cherry! But seriously, this sounds like an odd/interesting game, judging from what I've read in the comments. Are you working in a new version? |
