Game doc done, on to the next step
Having finished putting down all of my thoughts on the current state of online game services it is now time to work out where we can use Tycho to improve one or more game frameworks. First I will describe each service in a more structured way and identify ways it can be improved. I will use this to determine which services can best benefit from being re-engineered using Tycho and show off Tycho’s capabilities. For the second step I will define a set of criteria to measure the suitability of existing game frameworks for this project assessing how compatible they are with Tycho from a technical stand point and how the game currently implements the services we have chosen to improve.
Apart from writing these docs I also submitted a ‘hot-topic’ short paper to HPDC which describes some of this work involving online games and Tycho.
