Message text Hello everyone,
I'm very happy to announce that we are going to have an important update soon.
Few minutes ago I've sent an email to Dusty with attached the changes to make Advanced Firing rules complete.
Dusty is part of the new staff and he is the one who takes care of Youplay.it day to day.
He contacted me a few weeks ago to keep the work on WS&IM going.
Due to a a technical problem I can't update directly the site yet, so meanwhile I'll just send the changes to Dusty and he'll apply them to the server.
So, as I said above, the Advanced Firing rules are finally complete: ships will fire using bow guns, stern guns, or all guns depending on the target position.
There are also two small changes:
users who have no yet done a move will appear in bold in the scoring table
there's a new abbreviation algorithm that tries to give different abbreviation for ships with similar names
So what's next in the future?
We have still to do these things to complete Advanced Rules:
Stern rakes
Advanced Turning rules
Critical hits
Backing Sails
Repairs
Anchors
and we need a new interface because the existing one is too crowded (especially if we add repairs, backing sails, anchors..) and also not very practical to handle many-ships scenarios.
After that, we have also a number of things in the "wishlist" (like adding the option to disable wind changes for example).
I can't give you any time estimate on when these changes will happen, it might easily take another whole year to finish all advanced rules..but they will happen  |
