[Fluxx] Volity Fluxx 3.1 online

[~*Kat*~]

Ooo, good idea!  How difficult would that be to write, though?  I know
absolutely nothing about programming, so I am in awe that someone could
create the program as it is.  Wouldn't want the creator to think I'm being
ungrateful!

Another possiblility is to allow a sliding scale or such so people could
choose how fast or slow they want the game to happen.

Just throwing an idea out there.

We've talked about this (at the shining glass-and-steel Volity office
towers) but it's not obvious how to handle it. Any time you add delays to 
a game, they're the wrong length: some players will be lagging behind,
missing information, and others will be bored waiting for updates.

(And of course this is doubly true when multiple players can be in a game 
with a single robot -- the players will have different preferences.)

The "right answer" is probably enhancing the client to show history
more clearly. I'd like to have "rewind", "step forward", and "fast 
forward" buttons which let you jump through the game so far. (If that
doesn't eat too much memory.) It'll be a while before we get to that,
though. Lots to do..
