ThunderForgeVTT

An open source virtual tabletop that is currently purely a concept.

Current Objective

The current objective of this is to get a proof of concept going using Rocket.rs, wasm, and yew.

What features the PoC should incldue

• Login screen, Basic authentication (argon2 for passwords)
• Landing screen, landing page should redirect to login if no auth present or else provide a list of games the user belongs to.
• Game screen, a simplified game screen with a red square and a blue square.
• Game screen controls, wasd should move the token the user has ownership over.
• Token positions should update for each user connected.

When is the PoC considered successful

• User can create a game
• User can can invite another user to join game
• Game window allows players to move tokens around
• Tokens move around with little to no lag (gauge the time delay for tic rates)

What happens after a successful PoC

Step 2

This simplified approach is designed to not be pretty for a version 0.0.1 and if the PoC is successful, the next steps are to get a pipeline running in github for deployments. The project should have a solidified deployment plan with releases configured appropriately. Ultimately, the goal is to cement the concept of easy deployments and provide indivduals the oppertunity to test ThunderForgeVTT with a well established release model.

Step 3..X

• Begin solifify data models for each object type.
• Provide a module plugin layer.
• Allow plugins to be pre-installed or dynamically installed.
• Build a basic module.
• Build a system module for D&D 5th edition based on the SRD.
• Clean up the interface.
• Add a chat, roll, etc function.
• Provide a discord hook module for a rich discord interface.
• Integrate a character creation screen
• Provide a dndbeyond integration module
• TBD

Timelines

This project is a larger project inspired by many great providers such as FoundryVTT, Roll20, and BattleMapp. The current initial release cannot be given a date becuase it takes time to create great software but rest assured this project is getting worked on daily.
