Computer Geekery

Computer F/OSS: I've had a series of plans to create some Free software that relate to Warhammer. The oldest of which was for an Army Builder replacement which would work on Linux. Most recently, I've been thinking about doing an AJAX-based map campaign utility. Basically you'd have units which you could drag and drop to move them their alloted distance. You'd also have a GM interface to approve these orders. I was thinking that an AJAX Army Builder program would work pretty well. Particularly if it used XML files for it's army and roster definitions, so that other programs could be written to read and create the armies. I've got some basic XML done for the army and rosters, as well as some example Perl code for reading them. Of course, what I need most is not to jump to a new project till I've finished this one.
