At the meeting

###Officer positions

• Chair - Designates work to others. Manages time, scheduling.

• Vice-Chair - Does chair things

• Secretary - Minutes (meeting summaries), Game documentation

• Public Relations - Posters, Emails, Logo

• Leads - Server/Client, Visualizer, Tester, Web, Arena

Work designation

• New devs - Server / Client
• Old devs - Testing

New framework

• Remove need to rerun codegen

• Should never have to edit the files created by the codegen

• Should produce as few files as possible

• Matchmeta class

  • Superclass to files like plantsmatch.py and droidsmatch.py which actually contain game logic

• plantsmatch.py can be fed into codegen to produce clients and webvis objects (not parser)

• ClientMeta file - contains template TCP stuff

• Clients will contain no logic code, will just talk to server, then update game state based on response

Cool Ideas

• Make game server into Restful HTTP server

  • Can get gamelogs
  • Can get list of open games

• Client

  • Show open games in console with command line option to ./run

Communication

• Email - People don't check this often enough
• Reddit - Hard to administrate
• Github
  • Create real life tasks in SIG-CORE
  • No gameplay related discussion should be on SIG-CORE, should be in MegaMinerAI-XX
• GroupMe - Under utilized this year
• IRC - worked great for megaminer, might want an internal one
