You might have heard about "etizb - ET in ze Browser" in the last days and might wonder how this effects our project or vice versa.
We just had a nice meeting with the Developer from etizb (greetings to "n\a"
) and here are the results:
- etizb is far away from being in alpha status. At the moment it's more a collection of some code that works together but isn't playable and won't be playable in near future.
- etizb 's target is to make something with ET and meet nice people. (so we did
)
- etizb main target: peace on earth
- etizb is a fun project for people who like to contribute and like to figure out by their own how things are working.
We discussed the different techniques but had to realize, that it's not that compatible as we hoped in the beginning. etizb is a Java Applet which starts the game and handles key input from browser to the game, since we are using a C++ Browser Plugin and run the Game directly in the Browser Window.
Our goal is to bring Players easily into the game without struggleing with installation issues. The etizb project is more for experts. You should know what you are doing when using/working with etizb.
I really enjoyed talking to "n\a" and would like to thank him for his offer, to use his new/improved Net code when it's stable enough for productive usage.
We will stay in contact and are glad to have found nice people, enjoying the same hobby we do.
We wish "n\a" good luck with etizb and are happy to see that there are still a lot of people working on Enemey Territory.
