Infinity Pool Alpha

Posted in Projects, Ruby on April 29th, 2009 by Alan Hietala – 1 Comment

If you play the table top game infinity and want to help me with some feedback on the army builder I am creating please shoot me an email (alan -dot- hietala -at- gmail.com). The version that is running now is as bare bones as it gets right now but it support army validation, a single view that contains all the important information about your army.

I hope to add in a print view either tomorrow or the day after. I only have a small bit of test data loaded into the system right now so you will only be able to add 2 ariadna units to your lists. I will get the rest of the data loaded in the next day or so.

Feel free to send feedback to my email or leave a note on the blog post. Thanks for the help!

check it out at http://infinitypool.failedsave.com.

create an account to get started. These will be wiped periodically since it is still under heavy development.

Known bugs. Removing an item from the list does not work. will fix tonight
you can add 11 units to a combat group. it should be 10.

New PlanetEye Features

We’ve been hard at work at PlanetEye. I’m really excited about the new embedable travelpack maps. The speed that I was able to get this up and running in Google Maps really speaks to the flexibility of their API.

We’ve got out technology working in Google maps now too so we can be entirely map platform independent. Over the next iteration of the map we want to integrate the notes feature from our standard travelpacks to give some descriptive context to each item.

There is a lot of potential for embedable maps especially those that handle grouping of items as elegantly as PlanetEye does.

If you want to get your own map simply create a travelpack and hit the embed button and copy the code into your website or blog.
