Cron Task: Update Round Roll and Payouts

I have the script setup to allow updating a round roll using a cron task. This script has to do multiple things:

1. Check for rounds that have ended.
2. Figure out the applicable dice events.
3. Determine the payouts for open bets.
4. Update the user's purse accordingly <- Still left to do.
   

Sicbo Multi-Bets

Tonight I worked on implementing multibets, so that multiple people can bet on a single board. I added input elements to each board location to show the total amount of bets. I also plan to have some sort of display later that shows who exactly has bet on what. In the meantime however, I am almost ready to implement the payout functionality, and then clean up bugs.

Hiatus

It's been a long time since I made an update to the source. After I last posted in December, I started working on the group play feature. I stopped midway through when the pressure of real-life started to hit me and I just needed to concentrate on my day-to-day life. I plan to attempt to resume group-play work although I am not sure where I left off. That's the trick with long software projects--picking them back up!

Themes Completion and Everlasting Sessions

Today I implemented the remaining themes and implementing everlasting sessions to prevent the need for logins when not necessary.

Possibly next up on the list:

• Facebook Connect implementation
• History saving
  
• Multi-user tables

New Design and Westminster Palace Theme

Kosal was nice enough to come up with a great set of smaller dice images and new visual style. It gives the board a really nice look!



I started implementing themes. Here is the start of a "Westminster Palace" theme.

Locations!

I implemented choosing locations which will affect available odds and board themes (and possibly language at some point). Unfortunately, I don't have any theme graphics yet!

Design Changes

I've changed a number of design elements per Kosal's sage wisdom. Winning and losing bets are now very visible. Bets placed on table are now more visible. He also 'shopped up some new dice graphics for me! Thanks Ko!
