Looks promising!

I can't quite fathom where/how I could send things like old design docs, working C/C++ modules, etc.

Cheers!

Well I would envision that once a very elementary 'turn processing' is in, a lot of knowledge will be needed to recreate all the various bits and pieces. Presumably, we would have to see per module whether it is best to rewrite as python given the existing knowledge, or try to use the existing C module.

A couple notes: I don't think it's necessary to restrict messages to json.

The API could actually be hidden under convenient html forms, so those who want to use it directly could do so, while others could resort to plain old html-form-trickstery.

Let me disagree and agree here Smile

. I think the "core server API" should be as clean as possible, and json is the current de facto standard for these things, and easy to manipulate in a variety of languages (including javascript, which I envision the core client to be written in). In any case, allowing different input formats is opening a nasty can of worms in terms of maintainability.

However, there is nothing against writing a human-friendly web server on top of the core API that accepts html forms and translates these into core API calls. For most of the non-game interaction (ie creating games, browsing games, user management etc) this is probably the way to go. In a sense, this web server is "just another client" as far as the core server is concerned.
