Stendhal Development Meeting 2017-02-11

Agenda

• New images to replace the deleted ones
• Web client

New images to replace the deleted ones

Background

• Stendhal has a lot of original artwork that was specially created for Stendhal.
• But some images are from sources for free (as in GPL) images. In Issue 29 mislabeled images were reported.
• We had the situation in the past, that other people took Stendhal assets or ideas and we got wrong complains about copying later. But in this case there is a probability, that the original source is non-free.
• Therefore we deleted 80 images, 60 of them are used in Stendhal

Web client

• In the past the web client was low priority because it did not work on all computers. But I think nowadays, a web client will work on a larger number of computers than Java.
• https://stendhalgame.org/client/stendhal.html (that's a very early prototype)
• The link connects to test server, so don't be worried about dieing.
• Especially testing on Microsoft Edge is needed because some developers don't have Microsoft Windows. Polymer is broken on Edge at this time
• Next step is to check and update the list of important features: https://stendhalgame.org/client/webclient-todo.html
• Fixing corpse and chests is important. It will require some mechanism for popup windows
