I've been thinking. We have all wanted a new version of Stars! for awhile now and we all know by now that it is a lot of work to say the least. It's not something that gets a lot of steam because we all love the current version of Stars! and are busying playing it. The source code is also not public.
I have a new proposal:
To provide a way to submit a turn without the need of using the current "client". Preferably using a browser application with mobile/tablet friendly design.
Really it's just a matter of understanding the way the current game files are assembled, allowing creation or modifications to a turn using a visual interface, and reassembling those game files back again. Then you can upload them to Autohost.
By designing a tool with just this in mind, I can make an incremental step towards more integration of the original game. A battle viewer perhaps. Enhanced fleet tracking using the history of turns. Better MM management. Integration with Autohost to submit a turn. And the shining "star", allow the web server to run submitted turns through Stars! on the backend and replace the current Autohost (hopefully by enhancing Autohost to version 2).
The application will likely take the form of a Java/Spring application using JSON endpoints and a HTML/javascript frontend.
Let me know what you guys think. I am currently planning out the epics for this work in Jira now and I hope to have an Agile project moving forward with incremental deliverables each sprint that have an actual product owner and prioritization. I will make the stories public after this initial conversation and I come up with estimates of how much time that this will eat IRL.
Questions? Problems? Concerns?
