Status

• Current status: Work in progress

  • Multiplayer is in alpha. There are some bugs and features are missing.
  • Singleplayer is in alpha. The AI plugin contains two stupid AI opponents.
  • Singleplayer and AI vs AI is available as a console program.

• Roadmap

  • User Interface + Multiplayer finished: January 2018 (Postponed for now, the basics are working)
  • Singleplayer: Add more AI opponents. Next one is probably a neural network (WIP).
  • Documentation: August 2018 (if I have some free time)
  • Sorry if this is taking so long. I have a full time job and not much free time.

• Known Issues:

  • Same user can login multiple times. Not sure if bug or feature.
  • Game might screw up if one client disconnects
  • Rematch does not work sometimes
  • Exit Game does not work in single player

• TODO

  • Interface for user database plugins
  • Ping Server, reconnect if required
  • Cleanup inactive games and logins, KeepAlive packets
  • Matchmaking for random matches

Program Structure

The main game engine is inside a separate DLL so that people can program their own user interface for it. The DLL should be compatible with Mono and also run on Linux.

The main user interface is implemented with WPF using .NET 4.5. You need at least Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP1 or newer to use it. I tested it on Windows 7.

The code is currently a complete mess. I am focusing on making the game run. When it does I will clean it up and add some documentation.

Here is an example of a console based UI:
