Two posts in one day??

As well as getting the server setup and ready for the game server, we've been split up into individual groups and asked to create a forum and documentation to present at the end of this term. So without further a do let me introduce you to Team Wone's group.

Firstly we have the networking group which consists of Josh, Yasir and myself (Jim). Were all in the Diploma Networking group and responsible for getting the hardware set up and able to cope with whatever the programmers and multimedia guys can throw at us. Josh is also throwing himself into getting the forums up and running.

The other two members of our group are taking care of their field of expertise. Firstly we have Kevin, our lead programmer (well the only one really). He's going to be taking care of most of the back end programming for the game and some CSS when he has some spare time.

Finally we have Michael, he's going to be working on the graphics for the forum and main webpage being used for the game. Do doubt he's going to be running backwards and forwards getting some nifty logo's sorted.

More updated to follow, I'll try and get the other guys on here for a quick introduction at some point in the next few weeks.

One week down, so many to go

So I've not posted anything for the past week, which is no real surprise considering there's been nothing to report!

But that's not the case today, this morning we've installed the latest requested software from the programmers.

Python 2.7.3
.net Runtime (4.0)
mysql 5.5.27

Added to the already installed DirectX 11 and PhysX 9.12, this should go some way to ensuring that any updates proceed without any major issues.

Also Josh is currently getting the web services up and running for a forum for the entire class.
