I have some good news for some of you.
The Alamaze online order checking program is nearly complete for players to verify their orders before sending in their turns. I originally wrote the code back in August and just got notice from Rick that it's needed so I'll try to finish it within a few weeks or so. It would have been easier for me to code it last summer but I'll see what I can do during my spare time during these holidays.
I have loaded the front-end of the online program to a free web server for you to sample if you wish. Here's the link: http://www.testmystuff.web44.net/order_validate.php
Just keep in mind that since the software is not located on the Alamaze game server, you won't be able to verify your orders just yet. This is just a preview of the user interface so check it out and post any comments.
I threw in a sample error file on the server if you enter (game 100, turn 1, troll) to see various error messages being displayed.
I disabled the Submit Turn button but this future enhancement will allow you to send in your turn entirely online. No more spreadsheet files to email!!!
More on that later...
