Talk:HowToWriteAdventureGamesUsingArianne: Difference between revisions

== Feedback ==

As someone who is an absolute newbie (I started to read about Arianne project and Marauroa framework yesterday!), I didn't have the courage to do some modification to the article myself.

Nonetheless imho there seems to be a number of issues with the article, that even if not totally wrong, seem to be rather confusing to someone (like me) without any background knowledge.

So I decided to drop you a line or two naming a few suggested edits.

=== Title and Naming Convention ===

As far as I understood the framework itself is called '''Maraurora''' rather than '''Arianne''', which is the name of the wohle project.

Especially which release to pick in the following sentence is rather confusing.

: ''"You should always grab the latest release of Arianne from http://arianne.sourceforge.net"''

Following the given link leads to https://arianne-project.org/about.html

=== mapacman ?? ===

The introduction to Section '''Technology used''' reads:

: ''"To implement mapacman we are going to use Arianne, our multiplayer online game engine."''

Shouldn't it be something like this?

: ''"To implement a <del>mapacman</del> <ins>Stendhal like</ins> game we are going to use <del>Arianne</del> <ins>Maraurora</ins>, our multiplayer online game engine."''

=== Zone naming scheme ===

The embedded images both in section '''Basic Description''' and '''World design''' are comprised of zones labeled ''"Farm"'', ''"Village"'' and ''"Forrest"''.

The text refers to zones labeled ''"City"'', ''"Village"'', ''"Plains"'' and ''"Forrest"''.

There seem to be two issues here:

* The zone called ''"Village"'' in the image is called ''"City"'' in the text.

* The zone called ''"Farm"'' in the image is called ''"Village"'' in the text.

* The third zone in the image is missing a label. In the text it is referenced as ''"Plains"''

=== Network architecture ===

The section '''Technology used''' makes the following claim.

: ''"Arianne uses the UDP transport protocol"''

Other sources state that rather TCP is used.

Which one is right? Maybe ist was a historic version that used UDP?
