Roadmap

• ➡️ Develop a minimal front-end in VueJS + Typescript : The "component-by-component" development logic will make it easier to upgrade and replace interface elements. In addition, it will be easier to decline to a mobile version.
  • using the current Ruby API
  • allow navigation in sessions
  • allow the reading of an old session
  • allow participation in the game
• ➡️ Rewrite the API in Crystal : Crystal is a programming language that is partialy compatible with ruby and uses its syntax. It also provides an advanced typing system that facilitates bug detection, compilation and much better performance.
• ❌ Add support for websocket in the Crystal API + VueJS front-end.
• ❌ Add unicast p2p (WAN nodes <=> WAN nodes) support
• ❌ Add unicast c/s (WAN nodes <=> WAN renderers) support
• ❌ Add unicast c/s (WAN nodes <=> WAN controlers) support
• ❌ Add multicast p2p (LAN nodes <=> LAN nodes) support
• ❌ Add multicast c/s (LAN nodes <=> LAN renderers) support
• ❌ Add multicast c/s (LAN nodes <=> LAN controlers) support
