Although we&#8217;ve fixed two bugs (one of which is <a href=\"http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/tracker\/?func=detail&#038;aid=3511247&#038;group_id=164830&#038;atid=833261\">a major bug<\/a>) since <a href=\"http:\/\/konsolscript.sf.net\/web\/2012\/02\/11\/konsolscript-0-4-120210-released\/\">Quixie 0.4.2<\/a> (second release of v0.4 series) in February, we couldn&#8217;t package any release just yet.<\/p>\n<p>This is due to String:Split bug which we haven&#8217;t fixed and a latency and\/or fidelity problem with Quixie&#8217;s network capability.  This fidelity issue is noticed when a server is trying to send a string content to a client in a fast, real-time-like manner.  The message is not properly received on the client that some of the text contents are missing.<\/p>\n<p>It is, however, possible to make turn-based game since polling would take lesser processing.  With this, I was wondering if it&#8217;s actually possible to make a multiplayer poker game like the ones available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.partycasino.com\">partycasino.com<\/a>.  Although one would need a huge amount of moola to operate the server. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve almost released the third installment of v0.4 series during the last week of March but sadly, we can&#8217;t. We didn&#8217;t have time to fix the problem since we got busy writing <a href=\"http:\/\/konsolscript.sf.net\/web\/2012\/05\/11\/konsolscript-for-android\/\">libkage for Android<\/a> last April.<\/p>\n<p>If only we have enough funding so this project&#8217;s progress would go smoothly as planned.  Like, how expensive is it to buy one of our <a href=\"http:\/\/konsolscript.sf.net\/web\/2011\/12\/07\/smack-mugs\/\">Smack mugs<\/a>?  Each mug you buy would help fund KonsolScript game programming competition, which would in turn make the competitors-to-be a possible member of the community who would help finish tutorials and document other stuff while I get busy developing the engine.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, a quick shout-out to a friend who has been in Spain for quite some time now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/msghie.esporton\">Ghie Esporton<\/a>, who &#8212; in her own little way &#8212; spreads the word about KonsolScript &#8212; yes, she did talk about it in espa\u00f1ol. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>Hasta pronto, Ghie!<\/p>\n<p>~creek23<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been more than 3 months since the last release of Quixie and we haven&#8217;t released any Smack update since v0.1.
