My quick response - (before looking at AG's code):

I'll readily concede that you can hand-code 
the Server's registration, arbitration, verification 
and score-keeping program eaasier and shorter than SetGame did. 

But this Server-side control and distribution 
component is the simplest of the three.
Both Server and Client control are supported by LCP and GEN, 
and its UML-style documentation is important 
to your [bad or good] learning experience.

GUI and Networking are more complex IMHO, 
even when all control and data format concerns
are separated out.

So I believe both Server-side iand Client-side 
integration team members need to re-use 
SetGame's LCP and GENLOG components, which  
can do all except the network distribution of msgs
(EI-instances) and GUI rendering and card- 
selection (for which bde is not ready for prime time).

Comparing my recommended over-elegant solution to  a
compact, un-documented, quick and dirty ad hoc Server
implementation is a good assignment for next year.
Besides, you wouldn't want your ad hoc work discarded 
like SetGame04s,  because it can't provide MDD experience 
and can't be built on as a generic solution,
would you?

Keep  up the good work. Let's hear from the rest of you.
That way, you'll be better prepared to discuss lcp04s
and its Hominid and SetGame apps on TUes.

PS: I will be reviewing Breugge/Dutoit's 3d Ed of
O-O SWeng [OOSE] for P-H over Christmas. 
They work at CMU and SEI and Tech U. Munchen, FRG.
Jim Rumbaqugh wrote the foreword for their book.
I plan to re-use their 2004 2nd Ed in 91.523 in 07s 
and would like to know if any of you are interested
in 07s523. OOSE content can be explored at
