Folks,
I asked this question recently ([url]https://forum.vassalengine.org/t/questions-about-prototyping-and-best-practices/6985/1]) and also a while back for very similar reasons. I have been working on automation techniques (with DrNostromo’s help) for a while and wanted to share what I had discovered. A few others have made similar comments about a tutorial / tips n’ tricks clearinghouse.
The best answer that I have seen was from Brent, I think, and he suggested revamping the VASSAL Wiki to add these items and/or giving Ed (a.k.a. mycenae) help with the Module Designer’s Guide (in the Docs area). That would keep everything on the VASSAL site where it can be stored and overseen properly.
I think if there was somewhere to submit items directly or somewhere to post them for peer review, that would be a start. While I personally cannot coordinate any of this right now (I’m currently a 24/7 caregiver for a dying parent), I’d be happy to submit things that I already have documented.
Any further thoughts on this, anyone?
