Main Objectives: >Tune the "rubber-banding" unit selection system to respond more as ... [More] prior RTS gamers would expect, including fixing a unit selection bug made known to us by Tim. >Implement a more complete in-game menu system, including tweaking icons and menus to make it more instantly understandable and unobtrusive to new users. >Work with other teams to implement user definable AI scripts and actions. >Implement unit death animations created previously by artists. Additionally: Implement incremental damage to buildings. >Implement a more immersive solution to indicate units being attacked, rather than the current method of showing an arrow. Additionally: Use particle system where appropriate. Secondary Objectives (Time Willing): >Research and implement an intuitive way for all users to take advantage of the ORTS in-game split views. >Complete ORTS.net. >Aid other teams where needed to make game-winning AI for competition.
