Seems the initial interest in trying stuff up with CLOT has died out a bit.
Anyone working on something at the moment?

I've been waiting for an automated 1v1 promotion/relegation league, but I haven't heard anything.

When a public CLOT is up and running I think posting it here would be a good idea.

Hi ps, so far as I know, I was the only one who added to Fizzer's code and created CLOT tourneys.
https://warlight001.appspot.com/

I ran 2 of them successfully, and put my code on github where anyone can download it, run it, modify it, etc.

I haven't run more tourneys (they are swiss-matching real-time 1v1) since then, because I asked on this forum 'who's interested?' and didn't get many replies.



If you or anyone wants to use my code, or extend my code, etc, and has questions, you're welcome to ask me.
(you could have a look at the comments I put elsewhere on this CLOT forum about my code, as well).

unknownsoldier: yeah, i checked it when you posted. can you add me on skype? im psenough there. i'm thinking maybe during easter holidays i'll have a couple days of free time to try to put together an alternative ladder system. i'll defnitly have a better look at your code then. but would be nice to have you online to exchange thoughts. or atleast be able to use your fake test accounts, haven't bothered to create some yet.

Ok ps, I've messaged you.

Great, it's nice to know that something going on.

Was taking a look at it tonight after having a talk with unknownsoldier. I didn't like GAE db limitations that unknownsoldier ran into, my python is rusty and my django non existant, so i'm actually thinking of porting the thing to php+javascript which should shave off huge ammounts of frustration and allow me to run this on my own site and db, without GAE's sillyness. The API seems pretty straight forward and all JSON, shouldn't be that much work. Will try to give it a go during the next few days before any new projects drop on me.

I would be interested in a CLOT tournament if one is made

@ps
You don't even need this CLOT code, it's just matter of interacting with WL API and writing up some cron tasks to update rankings etc.

Grzechooo: yeah, exactly.

I did some more code last night to get the CreateGame API working in php which was slightly bugged but Fizzer help me figure it out. Working on a frontend and caching system now. Should be ready for use in a couple of days if nothing work related drops on me until then. I'll create a new topic with details once it's up and running. First test will be a random team mates 3vs3 ladder system on strategic east asia.

I'll post the code on github when it's decent enough.

good work

update: server side logic and caching system appears to be working now. need to wrap up the frontend, deploy and announce it somewhere on the forum to get folks to test it out and find some bugs. will probably manage to open it for beta test tomorrow. anyone up for 3v3 random teams ladder? :)

i can play.

The beat is now deployed and running online here

Sourcecode:

It's not totally ready yet but it's working, need players to test it for real. I'll start a new thread in general about joining, and leave this one for the dev talk stuff.

General thread calling for players is here
http://warlight.net/Forum/Thread?ThreadID=5595

I'll add Gnuffone and Warlightmaster to the testers list :)

Once this is system is more or less stable i can try setting up a couple other ladder systems (like the relegation leagues) or porting the CLOT system to php to bring back some sense of modularity.

Awesome!

updated sourcecode with some bugfixes and cosmetic improvements.

still looking like spaghetti code from hell, should really structurize it somehow to make it more readable / debuggable.

anyways, someone who shall remain anonymous for now was asking me in private how to get started with learning to code and be able to work on this kind of stuff, i gave him some pointers and expect there will probably be a follow up, so i was thinking maybe starting a thread on how to learn to code clot with php + javascript for folks who arent used to coding. just to explain the basics and give some guidelines on how to get you cracking. but it only make sense to make that public if there are more folks interested in it. so if you're reading this and are actually interested in getting dirty with this kind of thing let me know, i'll gladly answer those kind of questions publically.

Sure, ps, I can only imagine it would be a great help getting started!

did another update to the sourcecode, cleaning up a bit.
