Open Source: New files ... Arenas!
by: OS Frizz on Sunday the 15th of July 2012
By popular request the files for generating arenas have been added to the SourceForge project. For everyone who has wanted to create new / special arena options or types ... now's your chance!
deploy_arena.php
UI elements / options for creating an arena.
process_deploy_arena.php
Validates input, creates arena ... this is a more complicated file: variables are generated and written to special arena_planet files so they can be read by process_turn and process_deploy to ensure arena options are enforced.

Open Source: New files
by: OS Frizz on Sunday the 01st of July 2012
inc_combat_tohit.php
A lot of you have been waiting for this; this file contains all the to-hit logic for the game. Some bonuses are passed in from other places (effects, commands, etc.), process_turn.php will give you a better idea about the source of a penalty or bonus.
process_deploy.php
This is where the magic happens! This files handles taking units from your army and adding them to planets. This file is also called when a Drop Pad is used.

Open Source: Let's Do This
by: OS Frizz on Tuesday the 26th of June 2012
Ok, let's give this a shot! The SourceForge project can be found here:
Open Source Drop-Shock Files
A sub-forum has been created to discuss code changes and possible updates:
Open Source Drop-Shock Forum
The forum contains information on how to post code updates. The initial focus should be on bug fixes and changes to functionality which does not affect gameplay. |

I've spent a lot of time thinking about how the game can still move forward given my lack of time to work on it. What if we open source it? Please post your feedback here. |
