What is Stars TurnXChange
The Stars TurnXChange is a system I’m developing that will allow a web server to take over
hosting portion of the game.
The reasoning for this system is that the classic e-mail method is
slow and tedious. The game host often waits for turns to be submitted
to him, generates a turn and then emails them back out to the other
players.
IRC blitz games are on the other side of the spectrum. People have
devote 5-6 hours together to play a Stars! game. It’s difficult to
play a large game to an end due to scheduling constraints.
The idea of the Stars! TurnXChange is that people can submit their
turns to the server, which will get generated and posted for retrieval
when they are all submitted. The amount of turns generated per day can
be totally dependent on the speed that people wish to submit their turns.
