* Overview



  This is a hobby project to use a mini-projector with my laptop to

  ease DND bookkeepping.



* web UI

    Hit power to:

    1. select the first player

    2. start a timer showing how long the combat has lasted

    Highlight a player, hit recall, enter numeric damage, (left is

    backspace, enter is done)



*** DONE move player order

    CLOCK: [2010-09-14 Tue 18:18]--[2010-09-14 Tue 18:28] =>  0:10

** post-combat stats display

** scribe UI

   This is a small form factor page designed for my android phone.

*** DONE monster entry

*** DONE next turn

*** DONE start combat

*** reordering

** projector page

   This is a large form factor page meant for display on a TV or

   projector.  Passively displays the input from the scribe UI to show

   combat in progress.

   

* architectury stuff

** DONE use a stack for the UI commands, so we pass the input processor through contexts, and can push/pop

   CLOCK: [2010-08-28 Sat 17:01]--[2010-08-28 Sat 17:32] =>  0:31

** make jquery plugin for player UI so it is easy to update and extend

** separate selected from the current players turn



   so you could select many people then give one damage, or have a

   per-player timer

** package up the page state such that the recall button can be undo

*** keep a list of game states, have a 'render state' function?

    sounds like work, maybe localStorage?

*** keep a stack of functions to run to undo stuff?

** DONE add convenience function for 'press enter' dialog

   CLOCK: [2010-08-28 Sat 17:36]--[2010-08-28 Sat 17:43] =>  0:07



** scribe pushes events

** projector subscribes

** event push/pull

*** Functionality desired

    Projector page makes AJAX request, which blocks until there's an

    event for it.  Want to work out long-lived AJAX calls instead of

    polling.



    Support multiple projector clients.



    Support 1 scribe client.

*** Implementation ideas

**** event counter

     Server keeps an incrementing counter for each event the scribe

     makes.



     Projector pulls an event count from the server, passes that back

     with AJAX requests so it gets all events in order.

**** pub sub

     Projector clients block on expecting a response, scribe publish

** DONE nginx

   CLOCK: [2011-01-16 Sun 20:46]--[2011-01-16 Sun 23:50] =>  3:04

** DONE jquery event pull

* bugs

** multiple projector problems

   1. open one scribe, two projector clients

   2. projector -> nginx -> lisp -> block on redis sub

   3. projector -> nginx ?> lisp ?> block on redis sub
