IDIOT'S GUIDE TO FED2
INTRODUCTION
WHY FED 2?
The original version of the game, called Federation, ran for over 15 years on a variety of networks, including the British network, Compunet, and GEnie and AOL in the US. We then moved it to the web and ran it as a stand-alone site. In all that time, the code was fixed, patched, ported to new systems, expanded, rewritten, bodged and changed so many times that it became unmanageable - real spaghetti code. We needed to do a complete rewrite of the code, from scratch.
But rather than just replicate the old version of Fed (known as classic Fed), we have made changes to the design to make it a lot better - added new features, expanded existing functions, and made the game easier to maintain and to update. The new version is called Federation 2.
