Don't worry, I'm watching the project a year now and I still don't know how to play :). Although seriously, it would be best to drop by the IRC channel and have a talk with the devs. The IRC channel is #tp on FreeNode ( irc.freenode.net ). This is definitively the best place to both get more info, and make the devs excited about your application. > I'm very interested in writing a web based user interface for strategy > games.
