GM One Click Program
« on: April 05, 2009, 11:59:28 AM »
As this is currrently seen as a PBM game, we have been developing a program that reads the excel sheets and processes many of the orders automatically as well as doing such calculation heavy actions like population increases and End of Year maintainance and Tech level increase rolls. Unprocessed orders are ouput to a file for the GM to process. The program has cut our turn processing time down to about 20 minutes (with the program using about 3 minutes of it). This beats the 2 hour processing of turns that we were getting into around Month 30.The math heavy actions are almost done and we will release it for Beta Game 3, which is testing early deep space flight rules and colonization rules. The Game starts with a colony on a moon, in orbit, and of course, your home panet. We are really excited about this next game!

Hopefully the base rule book will be finalized with this game. After this we will be looking at the expansion books for corporations, psi races, and machine races.

All that is left is placing the costs on the Empire sheet at the end of the turn then Game 3 will begin!
