Well it is going a bit slowly. I have a lot of work to do at the 
university, so there is not much time for Parsek. I hope I'll have more 
time during new year holidays.

Currently I've only been playing with simple stuff like how to connect 
to the server and how to get Time Remaining until the end of turn. Here 
I first had to find out how to covert std::string into QString and the 
other way around.

Now comes the fun part of getting the Universe and other objects and 
showing them on the map and displaying the info about the object you 
click on.

I'm still thinking about how to do it. I'm thinking about implementing 
it as Model/View/Controller:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/model-view-programming.html
But first I need to read about how to use this.

Also I'm thinking about how to place the information windows. Should it 
be like GIMP (in separate windows) or like original Stars! game (all in 
one window). Personally I prefer the GIMP-way, since it is great when 
you are able to place different windows on different monitors. But then 
again I also know that many users (mostly Windows users, who are not 
familiar with the benefits of the GIMP-way) hate this.

Yeah I've also been thinking where to place the source code. If Parsek 
client will want to get into official KDE Games package, then I think it 
will need to go KDE SVN repository into playground/games:
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/games/

This is also positive for a couple of things:
- the code would be inspected by some automatic code checks:
   - http://www.englishbreakfastnetwork.org/
   - http://scan.coverity.com/ (not sure if playground gets checked)
- KDE has large community (developers and users) so I think that this 
way Parsek would be more visible and maybe it would even get additional 
help more quickly. Especially if they see that Parsek has potential and 
will want to get it into KDE4 (planned to be released in the middle of 
2007) as quickly as possible. To make Parsek more attractive to KDE 
developers I will also try to use as much KDE4 technologies as possible. 
And who knows, maybe some developer will also join in with tpserver-cpp 
and libtpproto-cpp.
- I already have account on KDE SVN and know how to work with it

Or would it still be better to have Parsek under one roof on the 
thousandparsec.net?

Have a nice day,
Jure Repinc
