next Rehovot Perl Mongers meeting in 3 days: Programming Lacuna Expanse in Perl

[Gabor Szabo]

Hi,

Lacuna Expanse is a massively multiplayer online strategy game.
In short, it is a huge time sink. http://www.lacunaexpanse.com/

It was opened about 2 weeks ago.
I started to play about 5 days ago and I love it.
The only problem is that sometimes I have to give instructions
to my workers and my fleet while I am asleep.
The way to solve it is to write scripts that interact with the publicly
available API.

During the next meeting of the Rehovot Perl Mongers we'll read
through the client code written by Steffen Mueller and will learn
various programming techniques in Perl such as OOP,
automatic method generation and JSON-RPC.

It can be very interesting to anyone with basic to intermediate
knowledge of Perl or who are just interested to play the game.

The meeting will take place in the Weizmann Institute at our
usual place in the Levine Building at 18:00 on Tuesday, 12 October.
