Description of project: Roll 20 is a site to assist players in playing Tabletop RPG Dungeons and Dragons. It provides many functionalities like an in game chat, storing players' character sheets, allowing players to roll virtual dice, and providing map support.
The biggest things we want is the base game, with the above mentioned features, and other smaller peripherals. Should time permit we would like to add offline support. In offline mode players would connect to a single "host" device, all chat longs and dice rolls would be saved to the host device to be uploaded to the server when reconnected. Secondly, we would like to add support for mobile clients. If we are able to complete all of these core features there are a number of extra features we would like to implement bellow.
Random extra features:
DM should have access to all players' sheets so he can do passive perception checks.
Able to draw on the map, not just place pictures.
Able to upload your own images to place on map.
Languages: Java, MySQL, Spring
Complexity:
Client: connects with server/host Receive character sheets, maps, and chats from server/host Realtime(ish), no timing-based events, but still needs to be constantly refreshing
Server: all game data in databases
Databases: character sheets, maps, chat history
Plan to make it for web and mobile if time allows.
Spring is a framework that most of us have not used before.
(For our use: this wiki before we made it to a proposal https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_lq-cBodoX_y4xh5GqWv75qUj8pzYBvpKzutwOU6Fo0/edit)
Feature brainstorming:
CHAT: input cleansing "channel" toggling history stored in a .txt timestamping "whisper" functionality console
ROLLING: kind of dice and amount GUI and command ADVANCED random threshold beating (individual or total) print results to chat roll in secret (for DM)
