Hi everyone,

I have finally updated PCC2 Web. Whereas the previous version was nothing more than a proof-of-concept, the new version is much more usable. It is still lacking much of the awesomeness of the desktop versions (PCC, PCC2), but can now do (almost) everything needed to play a complete turn. Key features:

  • similar structure and keybindings as PCC/PCC2. In particular, we have automatic supply sale and tech upgrade for ship building, and our favorite battle simulator.
  • data is live-streamed to and from the server.
  • tighter integration with the host: if you save a turn file, you will see the turn checker output.
  • limited responsiveness; it does adapt to different screen sizes, but isn't yet entirely usable on smartphones.

You can expect more updates in the near future.

To play a hosted game with PCC2 Web, click you race name on the game's page, and select "Set up & Play". You will be prompted for a folder name on the server (you can choose the default), and a VGAP key (you need to upload one if you haven't done so far). You will then find the game listed in the Play, under the "Hosted" tab. Alternatively, if you have a game not hosted here, you can upload your game files using the file manager.

Have fun,
Stefan

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
