I'd be willing to help test it.

The older it is, the lower the hardware requirements will be. Who knows, maybe you'll bring it down low enough that I'd rework some old parts into a server box.

The amount of experience I have when it comes to programming network things is zero, so I don't think I can help you much. Ideas I think I can help with, but they'd be more of the design than implementation variety.

Alright, we're going to try to make this more easily accessible to the community. We'll be trying to Livestream development regularly from now on.

Let's aim for one a week, preliminarily set at 8pm EST on Wednesdays, starting tomorrow hopefully. This schedule could change wildly, but we'll try to do at least once a week for a couple of hours.

This'll be an excellent opportunity for you to look at some of the code and how it's organised, ask questions, get involved and generally see what's happening in the Agora world

TL;DR version:

Now streaming Agora development once a week!

[Angle]

Sounds interesting. I look forward to it.

[Anvilfolk]

Sweet, I think I managed to stream decently from Linux, which is my preferred working environment. Both voice and video seem to be good quality, so hopefully it'll be easier to explain things as we go along. There is a huge time-delay, like upwards of 10s, but hey... such is life

[Anvilfolk]

Just a reminder that we'll be streaming today at 8pm EST (about 9h from now). Should be on here, but will post again. Will try to record it so you can view it some other time if you can't catch it today.

[Anvilfolk]

Starting now for the massive audience of 0 people, haha

[Angle]

I thought the video was well done, though I'm afraid not many people may contribute. I'd like too, but I'm a little out of my depth programming wise, and am having trouble just keeping up with my life right now.

[Anvilfolk]

The first dev session is up here: http://www.twitch.tv/anvilfolk/b/479494333

No worries Angle - it was great to have you drop by! I am super tired, so I didn't do such a great job of explaining things.

The idea right now is to make it easier for interested people to get in touch, see what's already in there and so forth. It's also a pretty good situation to guide people through code or answer questions. Let me know throughout these things if I'm going too fast, or if there's something you don't understand/know but would like to look at in more detail!

It's definitely also about me making sure to put some time into the project, as life has been getting more and more hectic

If you do end up watching, please do leave all suggestions here. I'd love some feedback!

A quick reminder that today is Livestream day again, at 8pm EST.

If you've been moderately interested in participating and have some Java coding skills, this is a great opportunity to learn how to implement some of the features we need. We have lots of small things that you should be able to tackle pretty easily, and that are really important at these initial stages.

Just post here if you are interested and we can come up with some voice-chat thing so that I can show you how things work and how you can start programming too

[Anvilfolk]

Streaming here.

[Anvilfolk]

No livestream today because of Thanksgiving.

We really need to start putting this project out there. Is there anyone that's good with webdesign that wants to pick up making a webpage?

[Angle]

I have no experience with webpages, but I have been considering making some threads in the forums of other prominent Open source projects, like Firefox and the various Linux distros. Do you think that's a good idea?

[Anvilfolk]

Not until we've got something more that we can show them - and I don't necessarily mean the implementation, though that would be great. Mostly, I mean that it'd be great to have some images or videos of what we imagine the actual usage of the final product is going to be like.

I've been having some tough weeks, but I think things are getting better and I might have some more time soon for this soon In the meantime we've gotten a few more features implemented, so hopefully we're getting closer to version 0.1

[Anvilfolk]

Got something else I need to take care tomorrow, and I feel like this is useless unless there's someone actually watching. We really need to move to our own forum/website thing and start building a community. I'll get on it when I find some time

[Anvilfolk]

In the meantime, it was super simple to just implement the Add Attack queries, except I can't actually test it because the database server is down, heh.

As usual, there's a ton of tiny issues that people who are interested can try to tackle and submit commits for. They should be relatively easy to tackle
