I am continuing to work on the Étoiles client when I have time. Advancement can be seen at http://pascal.wassong.free.fr/Etoiles/news.html You can also try it out.

LEit also gave me commit access to the Freestars project. I begun to make some small improvments for the server. But I would like to focus on the client, so I would prefer that there are other people working on the server. But as my client as no sense without a server I will probably have to improve it too.

For the AI part, all Freestars data are in XML files, so it is easy to read .m files and to write .x files. And the rules are also described in an XML file. But I wouldn't say that writing an AI is easy, for 2 reasons, inherent to the game:
- the amount of info to handle is huge,
- writing an algorithm doing something interesting is not easy.
