Initial Project Discussion

[ashish2199]

Please discuss about what we are going to make ?

I have 3 things in mind

• A clone of any classic game like bomberman game. We can include features like in built chat , saving game state ect.
• A desktop app in JavaFX that downloads IMDB rating for a movies and TV shows. In general bring various information about the movies and shows in a folder.
• A chat client with ability to send and receive files. Something that facilitates discussion on topics. Some other features which I cant think of yet.

Please suggest any other new Ideas you have,Also vote for the projects suggested by using the +1 emoji.
Provide your feedback on any other thing you want us to discuss.

Just plain JavaFX your planning to build bomberman? Or are you planning to use OpenGL for graphics? And how big do you want to build this game too?

[ashish2199]

Plain simple simple 2D game, I would not want to focus much on graphics. I am not yet sure about the size of game and features that it will have. It will depend on how many people are actively participating in building it.

I am more interested in chat client idea. But, I don't have any problems with the other two either. Btw, how many people do we have right now?

I'd like to help. Maybe we can write a chat client that uses irc. Then after that we can make the server.

I am not sure so far about 10 people have replied to the post I made on reddit. Lets see how many of them actually come and join us.

I'm down for anything and I also like the chat client idea! I was thinking, at least if we were going to do a chat client, that it could be in the browser via a chrome extension. I could be game for anything, to be honest. I've really been wanting to collaborate with people on something for a while now.

I’m down. I work as a software engineer, but was previously employed as a graphic designer and illustrator. :)

I initially had a idea of a chat application that could communicate over the internet.
I did a bit of reasearch about communicating over internet through Java and found that it requires lot of complications which I feel we should avoid for something that we are trying to make for fun. In order to communicate over internet we would need to do NAT traversal by using hole punching or port forwarding. A bypass for this would be to have a application deployed on a server for relay which I again feel involves finding a platform that is free and matches our requirement.
If we go ahead with the simple chat application, it would work only within the local network that is with the devices connected to your home network.It sounds kinda boring to me. What do you guys say ?

So far the easiest one I feel would be the making of a simple clone of a popular game. I don't think we would face any technical difficulties with it. 👍 from my side for it.

[CiaranRoft]

Im definitely up for making a clone of a game, or any other application. What game will we recreate?

Sup guys, I'm down for anything; anything webapp sounds fun!
