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
Discussion
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
