OpenKore ROADMAP (tasks)

[Technology]

For all tasks, post a patch here (or make a branch) so it can get tested and audited.
Please, don't put any such disruptive changes in trunk, thank you!
For new/aspiring developers, try to pick away at a Low Hanging Fruit task they are not less important, as most are the basis for harder tasks.

LHF tasks
task: Rip out all numbered ServerTypes and code that relies on $serverType == 1,2,...
difficulty: easy
effort: low
priority: high

task: Refactor packethandler code that is duplicated in ServerType0.pm and Sakexe_0.pm to Receive.pm
difficulty: medium
effort: high (but progress can be made in little chunks at a time)
priority: high

Insane tasks (j/k?)
task: Refactor AI logic code & Environment altering code out of Network
task: Kill off the use of global variables

please add more tasks.

If you give me more details on how this is done, I can try something out once I see how it works.

We already have a page for roadmap, unfinished tasks and feature requests all linked from openkore.com.

Maybe we should keep a topic per task there (in dev's corner) or in some bugtracker.

Well, if its something of medium difficulty that can be taught, then we can follow the instructions later, even if takes time and a high effort, i might give it a try.

My View on This is a little bit Different.
1) Implement basic Event Queue and it's basic handlers.
2) Make "Network" send there, and "AI" to parse some of them.
3) Add Ability for Tasks to communicate with AI using (1)
4) Implement basic Tasks for Basic Actions
5) Rewrite "Environment" to allow call actions on Objects
6) Implement More advanced Tasks for Advanced Actions
7) Split AI to little pieces.
8) Convert AI leftovers to AI Modules (Like Task System, but with concurrency).

Aren't tasks in task manager (not in legacy AI queue) already concurrent?

They have "Blocking" Mechanism.
But Yes. Pretty the same.
