Initial Software Issues
One of the first things I would like to figure out is the software issues. My goal here is to create a stand alone application for the game if that is possible -- or at least as stand alone as I can get it. If I could play it off my powerbook, it would be ideal -- then I could set up anywhere.
Currently the game uses Director, but the Xtras are outdated. I can use serial Xtra with Director from Physicalbits.com. However, I need to check out the cost issue. Also, if I can embed Flash so that it reads the live video feed, then I won't have to purchase and mess with the video Xtra that I used before. Also, then I can use it on my laptop. Of course, it would have been great if Flash could read serial communication -- but I have not found anything for that so far.
So here are the initial goals for the Software side:
1. Set up Serial Xtra in Director on latop
2. Set up live video feed in Flash on laptop
3. See if Flash can be embedded into Director and all the functions still work.
