Welcome to the dice2m33tU wiki!

##Intro dice2m33tU is a minimalist virtual online gaming table. Ostensibly, a website will serve virtual table sessions through a RESTfulish url/session map. You share the URL, people connect to it, and boom - you get a table. A table consists of a map and a chatbox. You can roll dice over the map, add images, and move them around. You can also move the map around. Sessions are persistent - you can come back to the URL and pick up where you left off, etc, etc.

##Project development phases:

• Prototype in socket.io (deadline, Mon. 3 Nov)
• Client side mockup (deadline, Mon. 20 Oct)
• Client side version of product (deadline, Mon. 10 Nov)
• Transition to php
• 'Database Design' - Thursday, November 13
• 'RESTful Interface' - Tuesday, Nov 25

##Features

• Chat
  • If we make persistent chat sessions, we could use a database
• Map
  • copy/paste/drag/drop images from elsewhere on the web
  • syncs those up to the server, which keeps state
  • should be able to drag images around
  • Graphics preprocessor to cut out backgrounds
• Dice roller

  • rolls should be run and synced from the server to prevent spoofing
