Netrek for Calculator
« on: January 19, 2011, 10:18:35 am »
Although I'm in the middle of another project and would not have time for this, I had a sweet idea for a game in case anyone wants a challenge: Netrek. For those of you who don't know what it is, Netrek is a game that is very loosely based on Star Trek. In it, you fly around in different types of ships suited to different tasks, dogfight other ships, and use those newfound kills to have the privledge of shipping armies, which will allow you to genocide the enemy race (the object of the game). More information on it can be found on www.netrek.org. Tell me if this idea interests anyone!

Actually, it's also okay if a seperate topic is used for one particular idea, because it makes it easier to discuss.  We have not gotten mad at anyone yet for making a seperate topic for one idea, and as an administrator, I actually encourage it.

Now, about Netrek for calculator...Whoever does it will have me for a best friend for life! 8)  And it wouldn't be hard to do in Axe either.

^THis. I think the decision should be up to the author. After all, the Other calc projects and ideas section was made to post new project ideas too, even individual ones. See the description:

Quote
Have a good calculator-related project in the works or a nice program idea? Show us here! Any project/idea regardless of language and platform are welcome!

Also your topic was posted in the wrong section. :P However, I will not move it, because the projects section is gonna be split in multiple parts eventually anyway.

As for Netrek this seems like a good idea. I never played the game, though, so I do not know every detail about it yet.

Glad we agree.

edit: I'm currently familiarizing myself with the game now that I'm home.

One thing I should say now is that while Netrek is self-moderated, it is uncensored, which means that anyone wanting to check out the game should beware of trolls and scum who shoot their mouths off. Although you can vote to eject players (type "eject a" or "ban a" where "a" is the player index of the offending player), I just wanted to warn you. Still, I think that Netrek would be fun to recreate. If you want to play it, go to www.netrek.org and start by downloading the client applicable to your operating system. (And what would be really cool is if someone could interface their calculator with an Arudino board and globalCALCnet and simply create a calc-based client).

Also, if you want to look at server code, it's online in a ".tar" compression file, meaning that you need Linux or a free .tar opener to open it. I haven't looked at this code myself, but I think it would be a good idea to look at.

Agreed--in fact, I would do that myself, if I were able to.
I lack the hardware and the knowledge to do that, unfortunately.

I'll try my hand at it.
