Roadmap

In order of importance:

• Upgrade to serialization framework
  1. Add two-way Json serialization to project
  • This is a particular hard problem, since no client-side reflection is present (GWT does not support this)
  • json4g solves this using gwt-ent. However, there is no support for inheritance.
  2. Create prototype server/client sending messages to ach other using WebSockets and GWTJsonizer
  3. When [2] is successfull, gradually replace all manual serialization code to use GWTJsonizer
• Write server, possibly using existing JSettlers code, possibly using Red dwarf
• Implement WebSocket client/server
• Add audio/music support, gwt-voices seems to look like a good candidate
• Test soc.common for correctness using unit tests
• Design a true OO way to deal with variants
  1. Each variant must be able to be played simultaneously with all others
  2. Some functionality will be overridden by a variant. For example, when players choose C&K, development cards will be replaced by C&K's development cards.
