This Fall I plan to work on Collabfour. This project is an open source game where each player only contributes one turn to a game board. This allows players to see many different looking game boards and learn the strategy of playing without necessarily knowing the history of the board or getting used to a particular person's strategy. Right now I am focusing on using Connect 4 as the example game. Eventually it will be adapted to such games as checkers, chess and tic tac toe.
Right now I have basic database functionality with the ability to store player and board data, a very simple UI that is still ugly, and functionality for making movements on boards.
This semester I hope to have a functioning game that is not necessarily ready to be shipped. By this I mean to have functionality in assigning boards to players and the ability to play through an entire board. The UI will need a lot of work once the functionality is finished but I don't see myself finishing that this semester.
