Used to. Long time ago. Now I need to make a http client for my game to connect to my php backend for authentication. Finally, my web 2.0 knowledge put to good use, again. On another note, I'm finding it difficult to make an estimate of how long till alpha release. I don't even have a UI up yet. All I do is backend work now. And it's a lot of it. It seems now like http://zadirion.blogspot.com/2010/12/http-clients-release-date-estimates.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (zadirion)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057162673884562494.post-4675606169512755578Wed, 22 Dec 2010 07:34:00 +00002010-12-21T23:37:00.740-08:00Guess what? I intend to release the game for both Windows and Linux. I'm developing on a Kubuntu Linux box by the way. I will be using boost::asio for the networking part. It's an awesome library, I have to tell you this. It makes up for STL's lack of sockets. How can you live in an Internet centered world and not include sockets in the C++ standard? Anyways, I am working on enabling the game http://zadirion.blogspot.com/2010/12/cross-platform-networking.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (zadirion)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057162673884562494.post-1023447803791979634Tue, 21 Dec 2010 05:27:00 +00002010-12-20T21:27:20.637-08:00I knew the authentication framework will be a pain in the back to implement, but it seems that was an understatement. I'm still working on it as we speak, and made some progress. What I did for now was implement RSA digital signing and digital signature checking. It was harder than it sounds. Next, I need to make an interface (some class that knows HTTP) for the game to communicate with the http://zadirion.blogspot.com/2010/12/still-working.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (zadirion)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057162673884562494.post-5341124430636848614Sun, 28 Nov 2010 05:55:00 +00002010-11-27T21:55:06.662-08:00I'm starting work on the authentication framework. That means set up a database, and a script to allow you to log in. I intend to share Drupal's 'users' table with my game, so you don't have to make two accounts.http://zadirion.blogspot.com/2010/11/status-report.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (zadirion)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057162673884562494.post-8458327630214770216Sat, 27 Nov 2010 09:18:00 +00002010-11-27T01:22:01.369-08:00Who am I?
