Yesterday I finished the first build. It's ready to be posted for people to see. But first there has to be a website and installer, and before that can be done, the program needs its real name.
So now I have to buckle down and pick a name! I'm going to read through this thread again today and try to make a decision.
I'm planning to put the source in a zip file on the new website which hopefully will exist by the end of this week. Eventually if more than one person works on the code, Subversion or something similar will be needed but I don't see a need for it now. Am I wrong?Quote:

I'm wondering if this project will take the form of a Platform for loading the game, or just a straight key injection project. I ask because most games require focus to accept input (EQ2, WAR, AOC).
Hey, how about ReBox? Include a semi-trademark infringing icon/logo :p
My plans for this program take the form, "First I'll do this, and second I'll do that, and then people will suggest various modifications and features, and by the end of next year the program may have grown in a direction I haven't anticipated."
So all I can tell you is what I'm planning to do in the early builds. These plans don't limit what the program may be six months or a year from now.
The early builds will be exclusively for WoW. They will provide the option of launching WoW automatically but they won't require it. In other words, the user will have a choice of launching via the program or some other way.
Synonyms for Power: Intensity, Omnipotence
Synonym for Advantage: Edge
Synonym for Domination: Ascendance
Oops, neglected to include another synonym for advantage: Leverage
A few other suggestions:
Despot
Oligarch
Mogul
Kahuna
I kind of like the ring of Kahuna. Most people have heard the word before. It gives a feeling of strength and power, and also sounds like a name. A lot of the suggestions floating around just sound like random words pulled out of the dictionary, rather than having a name-like feel to them.
YMMV but personally I never write anything vaguely useful that I don't check in in some sort of source control system - I like to be able to go back; check diffs; revert, etc... (and have a back up and other benefits of any source control system) - force of habit - check in often - now maybe it's early for a public repository but you may as well get both setup (there are a bunch of people, like sourceforge; or even including some that aren't going out of business any time soon like google which provide free hosting - curseforge also may work though I don't know if they host things that aren't addons)Quote:

Me too. It's a great name.Quote:
