Because people aren't going out. Been a while since I checked in. But I'm getting ready to run my first game. Kind of excited to see how that turns out compared to coding for it, or playing it. Updates will be here too. https://sih.onemadogre.com/t/play-by-email-forum-message-galactic-conquest-game/...

You sir, could never be too late. I'm going to drum up some interest in my gaming guild as well I think.

I clearly do not play around with this enough. That's awesome and so much better than me trying to hand draw one in code. I didn't color it, I just pasted it into a SVG sketchpad to get the shape.

Playing with it still. Added back in multiple sun star systems and reduced the system detail page to one API call. It's published on azure, but it's a work in progress, and you may find it's slow to warm up the first time if someone hasn't already warmed up the APIs.

I still have work to do on automatic turn resolution and ships.... but.... I'd like to try out the interface I have now. If I wanted to run a turn a day playtest through the webtool, would there be any interest?

Okay.... It's not done yet. But I did want to figure out the deployment. So if you'd like to play around looking at the interface, it's here.

I'm aware that the API isn't secured yet.

Honestly I think I spend the most time trying to make the design work. :) SVG vector graphics for top down views of star ships welcome. Stuff that renders like this preferably. (Doesn't need the ellipse, that's just me trying to mark the ship.) <svg width="200" height="300"> <ell...

Slowly working on unit functionality. Hoping to get a little farther this weekend.

I've been slower lately, but it looks like I need to take some more vacation soon. Still following with interest.

Man, I'm going to be sad to be back at work tomorrow. Put in a second empire, tweaked the concept of an explored system to also now have a supplied system. The whole, measure out two systems from the supply seemed tough on the look up for the jump lanes. But if I keep it as a separate table and then...

Alright, vacation just about over as I need to go fetch the kids from school. Got exploration as a concept into the play aid. It shows the jump lanes from the system's you've explored. Right now they always show up as "in supply", I still need to figure out that logic. But we're moving ste...

Decided I was impatient. I think this is better.
Hell, might as well do a current status view. Left off the shipyard for now, that's not polished enough for a showing yet.

Took a couple of days off this week because I was missing coding. Pointy hair boss work is different. So playing with this yesterday and today. Got a piece of authN/Z working. But then backed off of it because it wasn't as fun as making the rest of the app. Thinking about this empire view. Feels lik...

Not a particularly productive evening. Had a lot of trouble with a SQL block that turns out always had had a defect in it. Jump Lanes finally working.

Status update. Stars generating. I've overrode the star count logic for now to set every system to a single star. The values on the star map is now populating properly from the database. Settlements added to the data model, and demonstrated. (Why some stars have control colors. Width of the line at ...
