Re: [glob2-devel] Development Cycle

[Leo Wandersleb]

if next thing we do is 1.0 there are still features to be 
brought in. please think of 'only' 40 people willing to play 
via yog with the interface as is.
*games don't tell you who hostes them
*games still appear double (do they?)
*no password on games (the wrong people will keep joining)
*how does it look with 10 open games? 20? 100?
*market needs to be removed although i think this teamwise 
stock idea would perfectly fit in (new feature).
*these time-to-time-desyncs cry for a feature like "vote on 
who's local version to continue to play" instead of going 
down and manualy rehost ...

I would vote for a .18 if win-lin is solved as it looks poor 
to tell people to please use .15 if win-lin is a problem.

I could provide a random map generator for 0.18 (give me 3 
days so i can fit it in parrallel to the existing one and 
add some parameters.)
Someone did a mapgenerator that grew ressources instead of 
placing rectangular fields. Could he please provide me with 
his function or commit this function?
