LOL. :P

I wonder why regular players of these games didn't report any of the issues
which you found!

&gt;All impatient SoC student on this list can try to get it to run so they \
will &gt;also become familar with checking out the source, building, \
troubleshooting &gt;and so on :-) LOL. :P I wonder why \

you found! <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 30, 2008 at \

Savegames from the server can now be displayed in web applications. For 
learning purposes it might make sense to be able to load savegames from \
the client and replay them on a read-only board. I&#39;m going to \
stress-test the game online soon, but of course it&#39;d be much better \
if other, more critical, people will find bugs. 
All impatient SoC student on this list can try to get it to run so they \

* KBattleship 
The standalone server for it (&#39;Submarine&#39;) has been mostly \
finished. There are some client issues with it: If the game is over and \
the server exits, the game starts reading from the socket like crazy \
instead of recognising that it was closed. It is also not really \
prepared for a client-server scenario and will need some protocol \
modifications, while still keeping the player-to-player games. 
The server is written in Python btw. 
 
* KSquares 
Savegame review was already available for web apps, but it would also be \
nice to have it in the client, especially since my old game KDots, \
which implements the same game, could do that. 
The multiplayer mode is now mostly complete. What is missing is some 
additional safety against manipulated servers by comparing which filled 
squares are reported by the server and which were expected by the client. \
But functionality-wise it&#39;s complete I&#39;d say. The KGGZ page on \
techbase provides some hints on how to test it. 
 
* KFourInLines 
Also savegame review support for the web. Today is savegames day for me \
it seems. But, alas, not much more yet.
