To Date:

COMPLETE

-start the binary parser for the clientside (data unpacking).
-getting models loaded with their associated textures.

COMPLETE

-have basic functionality for server/client message passing.

COMPLETE (scene loads with two possible units and that's it)

-have basic scene set up with dynamic entity spawning.

COMPLETE (conclusion: total PITA...)

-experiment with rigging over the break to see how hard getting animations to work will be

Spring Quarter:

week 2.1
COMPLETE

-finish GameObject class and first level of subclasses (NPCs, Units, Buildings, etc...).

week 2.2

COMPLETE (needs to be better though)
-finish UI “mockup” that will have basic mouseclick event handling.

week 2.3

IN-PROGRESS (have some scene picking working and objects return their own ID) 

-demonstrate Unit behaviors and “ownership”.

week 2.4

IN-PROGRESS (pathing and collision is complete on the server)

-Units basic behaviors (i.e. moving, healing, etc...).

week 2.5

UNTOUCHED
-more unit behavior

week 2.6

UNTOUCHED

-Units advanced behaviors (i.e. auto attacking, equipping, etc...).

COMPLETE
HUD/UI needs to be minimally functional by now

week 2.8

UNTOUCHED

week 2.9

UNTOUCHED

week Finish

Have something to present to the class. 

We have a domain and hosting at: PlayFutureProof.com
that we would love to try and crash by having all of us login during our presentation.  
JK... maybe

Resources

I didn't feel like making a whole new thread for just this page so it's going here:

JavaScript:

Books:

WebGL up and running;
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920024729.do

Sites:

HTML5Rocks.com
W3schools.com
JQuery.com
CodeInComplete.com
Jetienne.com
and of course the guy paving the ThreeJS way; MrDoob.


Haskell:

The funny thing about Haskell is that it is still so academically driven most of the books ARE the sites.

Books:

Learn You A Haskell For Great Good

Real World Haskell;
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596514983.do

(A paper really, by Hal Daume III)
Yet Another Haskell Tutorial

Sites:

Learn You A Haskell For Great Good
LearnYouAHaskell.com

(awesome down and dirty quick guide "blog")
Haskell-the-Hard-Way/

Yet Another Haskell Tutorial
http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~hal/docs/daume02yaht.pdf

And yes... unfortunately Reddit gets its due.

More resources to come as I remember to add them and as I, of course, acquire new ones.

Thanks for reading,
