web player offline - Tester001 - 06-05-2023

Hi Eric,

Can you estimate, how long it will take until the web player is available again ?

Regards, Franz



from Ludii 1.3.11 announcement: 
"We would like to inform you that we have temporarily disabled the web player on our website. Due to our migration to a new server, we are unable to maintain this feature in its current implementation. However, we are actively working on finding an alternative solution to allow you to play our games directly on various web browsers in the future. In the meantime, we invite you to download Ludii to continue enjoying our games. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this transition period."

Hi,

This will be long. The Digital Ludeme Project funding the Ludii's server is on its last year. That's why, we will migrate our server to another in which we can not continue to use the same technology to run the web player. This part will be done during the summer.

However, good news, I learned recently that my new European project was accepted from the end of this year and for four more years. So the next server will probably be funding by this project.
And, Cameron has another European submission to hire a bunch of developers to work on another web solution much easier to manage and not requiring an important server to run the games.

Consequently, I would estimate this time to at least a year. Sorry for this, but this is necessary.

Eric
