== What is Arianne? ==
Arianne is a multi player online game framework and engine to develop turn based and real time games. It is designed so you can easily create your games on our portable, robust server architecture. The server is written in Java and Python is used for writing game rules. A mySQL backend powers the server and the server communicates with players using a UDP transport channel. Our reference clients are coded using Java and C in order to achieve maximum portability. Arianne's server is totally client agnostic making it very modifiable.
Line 8 ⟶ 11:
Arianne has always been an Open source project and always will be. Each version has been written and released as GNU GPL software. We believe the right way is to give you the power to change, edit and configure whatever you want, both on clients and the server. Arianne always welcomes your contributions and modifications to the code to make this the open source reference platform for game content providers.
 
Arianne is playable. Arianne now supports threeseveral test games: a TicTacToe game, a multi player Gladiators fighting game, and a multi player Pacman game.
* a TicTacToe game
 
* a multi player Gladiators fighting game
You can read more about them on our main page http://arianne.sourceforge.net.
* a multi player Pacman game
* a multi player Zelda like game
 
You can read more about them on our main page http://arianne.sourceforge.net.<br>
Please note that the games are out of date at the moment and do not run. Please be patient until we can fix them.
 
== What is Marauroa? ==
Line 34 ⟶ 41:
 
= Basic Design of Marauroa =
Marauroa is aan arianne client/server application with an UDP transport.
 
Marauroa server is called marauroad, and it is built using threads. marauroad has the following set of threads:
* 1 thread to receive data from clients
* N threads to send data to clients
Line 122 ⟶ 129:
 
Scheduler handles the actions as they are sent by the GameManager. RuleManager is a class that encapsulates all the implementation related to rules.
 
= Basic Design of ariannexp =
Ariannexp is arianne client. It doesn't matter if you use Java, C or Python, you have an interface for connecting to an Arianne server.
 
The basic interface allow you to create a client like:
<pre>
connect to Server
 
login with username and password
 
Show available characters
choose Character
 
while game keeps running
{
Get perception
apply perception to world
render world
 
get inputs
send actions
}
 
logout
</pre>
