2011-07-03: New client version 1.6.1
Hello everybody,
This news is a little late because I prefered first fix a minor bug before releasing the final definitive version. Here is thus version 1.6.2 of the client, and version 1.6 of the server as well.
- F2 disappears and is replaced by the new definitive chat zone. One can reach that zone directly by pressing Alt+C.
- One can also directly reach the menu list by pressing Alt+L or Alt+M, and the history by pressing Alt+H
- First letter navigation is available in certain menus. It is only the case if it doesn't make conflicts with other keyboard shortcuts.
- In games using grids or 2D boards, one can now directly reach edges by pressing Ctrl+Direction. One can also use Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End to go to the first or last item, in all menus.
- In the chat zone, you have now an history which allow you to recall last nicknames you wrote to in private. Use up and down arrows to navigate in the chat history.
- A table master can now invite someone in his table, even if it is private, with the new shortcut Ctrl+I. The invited person get a message and can accept the invitation by pressing Ctrl+I as well.
- One can now delete a saved game in the restore table menu by pressing delete. Delete works also in 1000 miles to junk a card.
- Audio library changed to BASS

2011-04-20: Launching chess game !
Hello everybody,
As the tittle suggests, the playroom include now a chess game !
However, please note that there wont never be any bots to play with. Chess player machines need much more power as my server has, even for moderate difficulty level. So you will have to play with true humans... but it's finally not so bad, isn't it?
You can also play la scopa in teams. _Rules of la scopa has been modified a little to conform a bit more to common conventions.
After game news, I should also not forget the new forum. Do you have a question, a suggestion, a bug, or simply mood to discuss ? Let's go to the new forum.
Have fun !
2011-04-09: Website update and client/server version 1.5
Hello everybody,
The website has been updated this afternoon, and you know what ? Game rules for jass are now online !
The statistics page has also been updated as well as the poker one, and uno and 1000 miles have also been updated so that you know now all latest additions in rules and variants.
IF you like the playroom, you can now also make a donation using paypal.
I haven't yet spoken about version 1.5, which was mandatory for client and server. Client update was mandatory because there was many changes in connection management, what was in fact the cause of the troubles of yesterday and thurstday (7 and 8 april). There isn't any visible change in the client side, except that the communication port was changed from 8888 to 1321, because some firewalls seemed to have problems with port 8888.
IN server side, additionnally to connection management, where also small useless things:
- Optional con-sense card in 1000 miles
- Ignore private messages from somebody in particular with /ignore
- you are now alerted of disconnections and reconnections
Have fun !
2011-03-13: New battleship game and server version 1.4.2
There were a lot of updates since last news. In fact, I forgot to post one...
The server is now at version 1.4.2, introducing a new battleship game in beta. But in addition to that, there were a lot of small other updates :
- Uno: it is now forbidden to draw more than 3 cards at your turn when you don't have to. This modification is made against cheaters, who could draw tens of cards before passing their hand to their opponents with the 0/7 rule.
- Uno: for the same possible cheating reason, you get 5 penality points instead of a supplementary card when you fail an interception.
- IN uno, 1000 miles, scopa and jass, you can now set a score limit which determine the winner or the looser of the whole game. This feature was highly demanded.
- You can now send a private message to a particular player. To do that, press F2 to chat as usual, but start your message by @nickname.
- Added private table feature. By pressing Ctrl+H, you can hide your table from the join list, so that no spectator can join it. To let it reappear again, just press Ctrl+H once more.
- Quick join: You can now quickly join somebody on his table even if he isn't game master with the new shortcut Ctrl+J.
- You can now know how much time you spend on the game or the round currently in progress by pressing Ctrl+T.
The client has also been updated. This client update is optional, you can keep 1.4.0 if you want to.
- Bug correction in history
- Bug correction in bidimentional menus
- Best multithreading management, supposed lowering synchronization problems encountered in uno and 1000 miles.
2011-02-21: Launching the playroom in english
The playroom is now officially released in english.
The multilingual features have been added on version 1.4.1 of the server and the client. main parts of the website are translated as well, even if some game rule pages are not yet. They will come soon.
