Just looking for some input on what dev tools developers in the add-on community are using to code within the Lua language against the WoW api? I'm using Eclipse with the Lua Plugin to start taking a peek at the Cosmos code.

You will like the Sky Addon I am currently developing. It will make sending messages between your clients far easier.

Cheating
I'll give it a look.

I've given this more thought and cheating comes to mind as a problem when using the AddOn model to support the game. Unless there is a way to check the validity of the .lua files people are using prior to spawning a game of poker, I could see where the .lua files could be altered, especially card shuffling code, to favor the enterprising player.

Can .lua files be "validated" (ala a Counter-Strike like Steam approach where the player cannot play a game if files have been modded)?

Great Question
Yeah, that could potentially be done. I'm not sure about right now though.

Casinos banned
I'm assuming this would apply to "pay-to-play" type Texas Hold 'Em. With that said, I'd consider development of the Cards game addon halted indefinitely.


 * Not if you played outside the city. Its mostly the spam that bothered the developers. -- AlexanderYoshi 18:06, 20 Feb 2005 (EST)

Hmm, if spam is the case, then given "free time" (yeah right, I'm a dad), perhaps I'll continue to look into the Cards AddOn.

Dude, I'm on your Server
Consider your list of associations somewhat expanded, as I'm also playing on Feathermoon. We'll have to try to coordinate sometime if your character levels are anywhere close. I'm one of those dreadfully casual players who usually only gets on for an hour or two at a time at odd times of day (largely owing to the limits of my hardware), so you're probably many levels ahead of me, but who knows?

 * Thanks for the message TedC. I'm quite casual myself, given that I'm married with children and all. The job thing kinda puts the cramp on 24-7 gaming as well. Manding is nearly level 60, but my motivation is waning, I'd rather tinker with the UI these days.
