I am pleased to announce release 0.3.3 of Gnocatan. This is a bug fix
release.
Description:
Gnocatan is a faithful translation of the excellent Settlers
of Catan board game. Using a scheme inspired by FreeCiv, one
of the players runs a server which the others connect
to. There is a meta-server to allow you to locate game servers
over the Internet. The game is now feature complete.
Changes:
* Finally fixed the bug in which the resource card count in
the player summary lost sync in some clients
* Added tick / cross pixmaps in trade interface to indicate
whether or not you can accept a quote.
* When a player changes their name, the message reports their
previous name instead of their player number.
* Added a 'Player Rejected Trade' line to the quote interface
to allow you to determine when other quoting players reject
a trade.
* Hopefully improved random number sequence by reading the
rand() man page :-)
Availability:

Future:
This release will hopefully be the last one in the 0.3.x
series. I am currently working on a major reorganisation of
the client source to move the entire game state machine into a
single file.
The idea is that once the entire state machine is exposed in a
relatively clear way, other people might feel inclined to help
out with some of the game variations. Out of this process, I
hope to reach the point where most of the non-state machine
code can be massaged into a set of nice game oriented API's.
If you are even a little bit interested, please point your
browser at
http://www.gnome.org/gnocatan/state-machine.html
and have a look at the code. It is a work in progress (I have
not even tried to compile it yet).
I would really appreciate comments now as I do not want to
have to do another reorganisation (at least for a very long
time). Once the user base grows, there are going to be more
and more people who might want to contribute code. I would
like to have a stable code base for them to work from.
