We're modifying the EDGE engine to output information in XML. This will then
allow us to create parsers that read the XML and allow for the creation of
web or client program on multiple platforms, as well as outputting direct to
PDF, MS Reader, text, database or print. It also allows us to open up the
results output to players so that if they feel the need to they can develop
client programs on their own. This would allow the creation of game clients
on platforms that we don't have the time to develop for, such as Classic
Mac, Palm, WinCE, Amiga, Atari etc etc. If we supplied the schema for turn
report input and output then it opens up access to our games and potentially
increases the player base.
