PlanetsCentral

Hiho I've tried to play at planets.nu recently.

Heresy! Betrayal!!!1

But since I am still short on time I tried another way: nu2c.pl (https://github.com/stefanreuther/c2nu)

Well first there is a question concerning the readme. It states:

Quickstart

    Make a new directory and open a command prompt in it.
    Make a solo game on planets.nu.
    [..]

Why is that only for solo-games?

It's not. However, (a) I only tested it in solo games recently. I think Quapla tested it in real games, but my last real game was in 2012 or so, before their last API changes. (b) It's a testing, proof-of-concept type program. It does not (and can not) support all features of Nu because they differ from VGAP rules and file formats a lot. The readme tells you how to try it, and you don't normally test and try on a real game first, do you?

The "real" solution to "I want a sensible client for planets.nu" will be PCC2ng. The current Milestone One can browse planets.nu and planetscentral.com, but cannot give orders and is lacking most of the graphical interface.

And second - I tried it out right away. But I got some fishy error:

C:\Users\Nutzer\Desktop\Planets\PlanetsNU>perl c2nu.pl login USER PASSWORD
Bareword found where operator expected at c2nu.pl line 23, near "<title>c2nu"
	(Missing operator before c2nu?)

You probably didn't download the program, but the github website describing it. Use the "Raw" or "Clone or download" buttons.
