i'm kinda busy just right now, but this is what i want to work on next:
  • better error handling in server. also there is need for some refactoring.
  • customize toj client
    There are many things hardcoded there like replay server (this is why replays were disabled on top) and ads url (we can put something nice there like nullpomino ads for example). many things were not touched because i wanted to maintain toj compatibility. i want to change chat message length limit and room name limit. we can also ad custom themes made by community and made them work just like regular decorations. also better das presets (until i add some convenient way to customize das. also i want to update english patch a bit (i found few mistakes and broken messages when i was working on top), i should also remove harddrop references (there are few) because this english patch is not longer supported by harddrop. auto update tool would be nice too.
  • website integration
    integrate top accounts with forum accounts, rankings, profiles and replays viewable on website, changing/resetiing password
  • KOs (KO is when incoming garbage cause topout?)
    hurry up garbage (starts at 1:30?)
  • challenge mode
  • GUI version of SjeJhhTool for more userfriendly modding

I'm also looking for people who can contribute to this project. There are many minor things i need help with like writing some instructions/game messages in proper english and probably also in japanse. some graphics skills are also handy to fix/improve some english patch graphics. I also looking for people who want test things with me as things are changed, if you are often online, and are ready to test something with me anytime i ask you are good person for this.

keep in mind that TOP display total users count (users in rooms + users not in rooms) in channel in right corner, unlike TOJ which displays only number on users not in room. But i want to change it back to display like TOJ does. Also user count bars on channel list works differently on TOP.

We have currently over 800 registered users and they keep coming. 8-)
