1. The DescriptorCollection (namespace JoS.Game.Collections) class mentioned in the previous JoS entry is pretty much completed. It needs a little bit of code commenting to round it out, but for the most part the starting functionality is all there. It holds a Dictionary<String, Descriptor> which is the collection of Descriptors. .addDescriptor adds a Descriptor to the list, .getByEndpoint allows us to look up a Descriptor by its remote socket endpoint, and .delByEndpoint removes a Descriptor from the list.
2. The beginnings of the actual Descriptor (namespace JoS.Game) class are now there. Needed to make sure DescriptorCollection works, of course. We’re a couple methods away from being able to read from/write to client sockets using this class.
3. I’ve completed a pretty basic Logger (namespace JoS.Utilities) class to handle any logging that we need to do.
4. The beginnings of MainGame.Main() (the entry point to the whole app) have been put together. Main game loop coming soon.

Will probably take another hour’s worth of coding to get us a functional “chat” server using our game’s conventions. Then we can move on to dropping in the rest of the content needed to get us rolling. In case I haven’t mentioned this, the goal is to get us back to at least where we were, functionality-wise, with the old PHP JoS by the end of November. We’re well on our way to meeting or beating that goal, if I can keep moving at a reasonable pace.
