Spades is finally playable in Flash. Could do with some testing. The bidding buttons are just a first idea for the bidding, that probably will change soon. Ideas welcome.

Bugs and enhancement suggestions again on Trac - see "new ticket" for a small how-to, it's very, very easy.

edit: couple of fixes in Flash clients... nick TABbing works now!

Yeah. Not hard to guess what's newsworthy.

Flash clients got a few more effects and the Hearts Flash client was just released.

Please do some testing in it and favour it over the Java clients. For bug reports and suggestions, once more, check out http://trac.dracis.com/ -- in particular the "New ticket" link... that's the BEST way to report bugs or make enhancement suggestions and such.

Just updated the flash clients once more. It has a new glowing turn indicator... the moving "spotlight" idea has been dropped now, as we feel the glow works really rather well. It isn't stressing in any way, yet makes it very obvious whose turn it is. Feedback is still welcome.

The update also yields the beta release of the Whist Flash client. It isn't done, yet... and although playable.. you will have to guess the trump suit at this point. ;) A new feature is the animation of played cards in it... something I feel will also be used in many other games, as it makes them much more dynamic.

I've finally picked up the Flash clients again, and I hope development will now go on in that department. Please use the Tien Len Flash client and give me some feedback.

One major change is the new turn indicator (a lighter area that rotates to the player whose turn it is)... so far it isn't very liked. But I'd like some more opinions and perhaps even ideas what might be better.

URLs and links are now clickable in the chat areas. You can complete nicknames by typing part of them and then RIGHT arrow. Still working on getting TAB to work for that, but TAB cycles the focus through the controls and I haven't found a way to turn that off.

Done for now... _should_ work. So if it doesn't: bug reports please. :P

I also want to point your attention to the new link in the top menu. I added a Trac for Dracis again and bug reports and technical suggestions and enhancement ideas should preferably go there. It is very easy to post a so-called "ticket" there to inform us about the bug or whatever. And it'll be much easier to maintain and work with than the forums.

So have a look sometime. :)

Yeah, wiki needs a rewrite.. I'll be working on that today. So there'll be odd behaviour on wiki pages.. please don't be alarmed and don't flood me with bug reports, I know. :P
