What's this?

Fix a bug labelled StarterProject

See the issue list. Bugs that are easy to get started on are labelled "StarterProject".

Seed a client random-number generator from the server

The client needs to generate random tokens for new wave ids, etc. To ensure domain-wide uniqueness the server should pass a unique seed to each client.

Fix/Upgrade Ant build file to suit development needs

Our ant scripts are not well suited to rapid development. There are no good targets for rapid build/test cycles. For example, rather than require the "dist" target to build servers for testing, testing servers should run from the compiled class files (in progress, contact anorth to help out)

Mobile client

No-one is working on mobile support at the moment. This is an open project.

Implement Operations for the Robot API

While other aspects of the Robot API are being flushed out the interface for implementing operations has been committed. This allows a heap of operations to be implemented, ranging in difficulty from easy to tricky. The list of operations that we'd like to have implemented are shown here.
