So you guys want to get something going?
Just for fun.
I have only worked slightly on group projects. It was honestly not a cool program to begin with.

However,this would be a fun learning experience for a lot of people.

Any other C++ people in?

Did you have anything in particular in mind? I tend to be good at back-end stuff, but can work on GUI elements as well. If it will be GUI based, we would also need to decide on a toolkit (preferably cross-platform).

I'm working on a pretty cool project right now, something all the .net fanboys will love.

Once I get the alpha version done I'll post some stuff.

Nothing really specific off the top of my head.
I really want to get into more networking code with C++.
Sockets is one of the topics I lack a lot of experience in.

I still NEVER got any of those toolkits to work..
It made me severely angry, I stopped messing with C++ for like a week or two and wrote all the GUI programs in Python lol.

I <3 C++ though.

So what do you think we should do Panther, I know you are experienced.

We could create a peer to peer go program :)

Elaborate?

Go is a board game, generally 2 player. We could write a program where two go clients connect to each other and allow them to play against each other over the internet. Read my tutorial here for more info on the game.

See, I haven't even messed around with OOP yet.
All my programs are relatively small..

Hmm, this might be a problem.

Don't let OOP intimidate you. If you've been using a decent C++ style (cout/cin, and other things), you'll adapt to it. Large chunks of an OOP program involved coding the methods, which are procedural.

With all that said, what would you suggest for a network based program?

I like the idea of a network based game.

But I think we should make our own..
Or maybe implement one another way or something.


I am sure their are plenty of things. I just want to have some fun and learn at the same time!

There are a lot of games out there that can be implemented. If you Google "Abstract strategy games" you will find several sites that list rules for games that could easily be implemented. The trick would be finding a rules set that isn't under copyright.
