Dibs on this TDN tutorial?

Has anyone claimed the TDN tutorial series Turn Based Multiplayer Game Basics? I'm making a TBS right now that I'd love to make multiplayer as well so I was wondering if it was in queue to be completed and if anyone had any idea when?

The checkers demo I did will come out with the next major T2D release, it utilizes and demonstrates Turn Based Multiplayer, it will be tutorialized and probaby converted to TDN.

So there can only be one example per subject?
@Matthew: That sounds awesome!

There is nothing wrong at all with doing two tutorials...at worst, the "offical" one would be posted in the primary research chain (Matt's checkers is pretty rocking, and illustrates all of the primary principles!), with links to the "alternate approach/example" one, so please feel free to jump on it if you have something you want to share!

In TDN, more content is always good!

Just to follow-up on what Stephen said..

In general guys, you should always feel free to contribute articles to TDN, or even to edit existing articles. This is what wikis are for! They're great places for people to collaborate in order to come up with awesome community-driven content.

So, no need to dib an article. :) Drew, if you want to create a turn-based tutorial, or even a TBS tutorial specifically, go for it man! The community should filter the good stuff up to the top, help flesh out ideas that need more info, etc.

In general, TDN can be an awesome example of the whole "world domination through collaboration" concept. TDN will be as good and helpful as we all make it!

Definately would love to see additional tutorials on any of the subjects up there :) If you ever need help or want to run it by someone feel free to e-mail me

I wasn't sure if you were asking whether anyone was already working on a Turn Based tutorial in reference to you starting one, or if you were asking if someone was working on one for you to utilize :)
