Create a plan for the visualizer

Closed this issue · 5 comments

Have a plan for a working visualizer and base code to begin advanced work on the visualizer.

Marking this as Early Summer milestone. We want a visualizer plan, but we will need game components first.

We're writing the visualizer using web tech right? (HTML, CSS, JS, maybe a backend like Django)

If we don't need a backend framework, I'd recommend against it. The visualizer can use AJAX to query the game server as needed (even if they're running on the same machine).

@SSheldon wants to do a Python based visualizer. I'm fine with either, but if you two are interested in the visualizer you should discuss this. We should really know what the visualizer is going to need before we get back from break.

@SSheldon Any thoughts on this? I don't think either language offers a huge advantage over the other. I know I would be able to contribute to a web-based one better.

Are there good Python libraries for drawing / graphics? We'd probably use HTML5 Canvas for the web-based one.

This is well beyond done. Closing.
