SERVER REQUIREMENTS
- Apache
- Perl 5.x with Set::Object module
KNOWN ISSUES (as of 2012/08/25)
- Progress will cease to be auto-saved to cookies once enough of the board has been unlocked. This is due to reaching the maximum cookie size. A better way to store state is needed.
- The page reloads between submissions. An AJAX overhaul and reimplementation is needed to solve this.
- The game parses the XML document at each guess. Some way to cache this information would improve response times and disk usage.
- If Set::Object is not available on the server Perl installation, the game fails to display on client browsers. Need a way to either gracefully handle such misconfigurations or at least provide better error messages to alert the server administrator to install Set::Object.
