Technical Implementation
Just some comments to myself:
- Server controls what is on the map (the client shall not assume anything)
Internal actions
- Show Map
- Show Map at pos x,y
- Show Map at nest n
- Help about n
- Show spieces chat with prepared message/location x,y
etc
Client <-> Server
- All actions are asynchronous
- Send all waiting actions (in client) to one server script using a background thread.
- A json-list with actions
- All actions have a serial number (unique to user and say 5 min?) and info on what to perform
- If the action already took place (serial number) just send the updated info (for that action)
- The server responds with apropriate data on all actions or error messages and also a part with new data (that might have been changed)
- Notification from server if nearby actions take place, the notifications shall contain enough data to update the info in the client (typically attacks)
