Getix / News: Recent posts

The developer's schedule has recently cleared up a little bit. So Getix's development will resume shortly.

Unfortunately Getix's sole developer has been busy with personal matters this week and has been unable to do much development. Hopefully full-time development will resume soon.

Right now the Getix home page (http:\\dx-voice-conf.sourceforge.net) is very messed up. This will be fixed soon.

The Pre-Alpha release (v0.1.1) has been changed. Due to inflexibility of the console window the Pre-Alpha release will be wrapped up in a GUI. This release is expected to come out within the next few days.

The p2p host and connection applications are working. Next the signaling will be tested and then the applications will be merged to provide a single application for hosting and connecting.

The client p2p application is almost finished. The general flow is almost complete and after that the finishing touches will be put in place. Then a release will be compiled and set up for posting.

The Getix home page (http://dx-voice-conf.sourceforge.net/) has been changed. More CSS has been employed to give it a cleaner look, The color scheme has been changed, and the Getix Logo has been re-made.

Client application flow is still under development. Basic flow should be finished by Wednesday. Once Basic client application flow is completed peer to peer connection controls will be installed and tested. Once P2P controls are installed and tested completely Getix 0.1.1 will be released along with source code.

Client application development has started. DirectPlay functions are being implemented into a console environment to make the debugging/development easier. Once the project has reached a milestone (not yet been set) a GUI release will be started.

The Getix Home Page has been slightly modified, check it out at: http:\\www.dx-voice-conf.sourceforge.net

Application flow documentation is now available here: http://www.sourceforge.net/docman/index.php?group_id=153899

This document further explains the program flow of the server and client applications. This is only version 1.0 of the programs flow, so there will be many gaps that have not been covered.

The Project Webspace for the Getix project (dx-voice-conf.sourceforge.net) has been updated. Right now the index page is just plain HTML, soon I wish to add some CSS to clean things up and some graphics to polish it.

Right now the layout for Getix's client/server application flow is being created. After this the project will be able to take shape and get coded.

Getix's (Pronounced je-ti-cks)Technical aspects are as follows:

Connection agent:
-DirectPlay

Developement tools:
-Ms Visual Studio/ Visual C++ -Direct X API -Microsoft Windows XP (Home Edition) Purpose

Statement: All of the voice chat solutions that I have found allow a user to connect and talk to only one other user at a time. The purpose of this project is to allow more that two users to talk together over the Internet or LAN at the same time. With this program a user could create a conference call over the Internet or LAN. ... read more
