Thousand Parsec KDE Client

Thousand Parsec single player mode is almost ready! The initial goal is to release tpclient-pywx with single player mode, along with at least one server and one AI client supporting two rulesets, on Windows and Gentoo Linux. We achieved a few of the ... [More] final steps last month.First, we have the release of tpserver-cpp 0.6.0. This release includes the new Risk ruleset as well as the administration protocol, both Google Summer of Code 2008 projects. The Gentoo ebuild for tpserver-cpp now pulls in the recently-released tpadmin-cpp. We're currently working on a Windows package for the server.Next, we have a preliminary release of daneel-ai, also a GSoC project, which implements an AI client for the Risk and RFTS rulesets in pure Python. The Gentoo ebuild installs a script in the path and the XML file necessary for single player mode, so on that platform we're good to go. We plan to have a more solid release and a package for Windows soon. [Less]

So one of the other things I worked on at Linux.conf.au was a project Joel Stanley started, “Open Velociraptor Per Child, the Game!”. The game comes out of the Open Velociraptor Per Child project’s ideas. The OVPC project aims to give every child in the world their very own Velociraptor. The game simulates what would happen [...]

So for the past week while I have been at the best conference in the world I have been trying to compile tpserver-cpp for Windows. I had done the hard work and gotten it to compile (as documented here, here and here) on Windows previously. However, as I was in Hobart at a Linux conference [...]

So last year at the end of November I spoke at OSDC. I had been meaning to blog about the conference but never gotten around to doing so. The conference was great, but like previous OSDC’s I came down with something. Sadly, this meant that missed Andrew Tridgell’s talk about the EU-Microsoft agreement. Joel, who [...]

This release of libtpproto-cpp is really to allow tpadmin-cpp (which uses the library) to be built without having to get the source code out of git. Having said that, this release is a preview of what libtpproto-cpp 0.2.0 will look like. The biggest ... [More] different is interaction with the library is now asynchronous, using boost::signals for callbacks. The library now requires the client using it provides an EventLoop object that the library can use to look after sockets and timers (or the client can use the SimpleEventLoop provided ). Also new is the start of support for TP04. The major things missing from this release are Order, Messages and ObjectParameters. The 0.2.0 release will occur when these components are in place. Libtpproto-cpp 0.1.9 is on the [downloads page][1] and will be on our SF downloads page soon. The GIT repo is libtppproto-cpp (branch master) and the tag is LIBTPPROTO_CPP_0_1_9. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome. [1]: http://www.thousandparsec.net/tp/downloads.php?category=lib [Less]
