Default Re: New & raw web based Dominion II game server

Reverend Zombie: You're welcome I hope to get some play out of this, and besides, I've long missed and excuse to learn CGI and mysql.

Todays update: It is now possible to add a comment to the game. Also, the game status has been changed to show what nations have joined in place of the VP fields.

Added backend support for restart.

Soon todo: Some primitive chat facility, a "game details" page, maybe with a kill and restart facility.

Far todo: Make adding AI work if possible. Work at styling the page. Make multiple host times work if possible. Publish the code under GPL.

Any other ideas? I can't implement any statistics unless someone come up with an idea for extracting this data from the game somehow, so the VP idea is not possible (sorry Peter).

I've been thinking about sending out a mail when a new turn is generated. Possibly, I could send out a Jabber (IM) or maybe an IRC message as well. Would that be helpful, or just annoying?
