Black Raven Dragoons

[Zancarius]

I've got another project in the work that the guild will be able to use (hopefully), and it might be somewhat addictive--especially for those who might be experiencing a slow day at work (or school). So far, only a few people know what it involves (don't spill the beans until beta, please!), but I'll link a really awesome networking library I found for python:

Part of the reason it is so awesome is because you just can't beat the name "Twisted" for any project. Maybe I'm just a little... you know... twisted!

Anyway... here's what the project is going to use:

A central server written in Python. Python allows for rapid prototyping and creation of applications, hence why I chose it.
Web-based clients that will be using AJAX to communicate with a PHP backend.
So far, it'll probably require Firefox 2 and IE 7 to operate correctly, depending on the limits of the AJAX engine.

You have no idea how much I'm going to use this in computer class this year.

No Firefox 3? =(

Those are really minimum specs since XMLHttpRequest was supported from FF 1.5 and up, I think. Support will probably still break for IE 6. Anyone using Opera 9 should be safe, too.

I guess I'll switch to firefox on my mac

Safari is based on WebKit, so it should work.

Oh, Ok

The back-end is mostly working and the client has been written (mostly).

I'm going to keep teasing you all with this until it's in a beta state.
