<p>Now, we have an old "PSKOV" version and we need an improved one.</p>
<p>First, we should recall what "PSKOV" consists of:</p>
<ol>
<li>The <a href="https://opengamestudio.org/pskov/en/pskov_1.0.0.html">generator</a> itself in the form of HTML page with JavaScript</li>
<li>Helper <a href="https://opengamestudio.org/lfsa/en/index.html">Python script</a> to save generated files to disk</li>
</ol>
<p>Helper script is used to bypass web page restriction to access
local file system.</p>
<p>The script itself is a tiny web server with the following commands:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>№</th>
<th>Command</th>
<th>Details</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td><code>GET /path</code></td>
<td>Get current working directory path</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2</td>
<td><code>POST /list</code></td>
<td>Get a list of files in the requested directory</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<td><code>POST /read</code></td>
<td>Get file's contents</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>4</td>
<td><code>POST /write</code></td>
<td>Write file's contents</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<h1 id="pskovtomorrow">"PSKOV" tomorrow</h1>
<p>Thus, the simplest way to get back to "PSKOV" development is to rewrite the
helper script. I decided to replace Python with Kotlin because:</p>
<ol>
<li>Kotlin can be compiled for desktop, mobile, and web</li>
<li>Kotlin is strictly typed</li>
</ol>
<p>These two factors simplify future work with portable code.</p>
<p>As of now, I have <code>GET /path</code> implemented for JVM, macOS, and Windows (image
in the beginning).</p>
<h1 id="november">November</h1>
<p>I plan to implement the following commands in November:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>POST /list</code></li>
<li><code>POST /read</code></li>
</ul>
