[http://arianne.sourceforge.net/?arianne_url=servers/server_marauroa Marauroa] is an open source multiplayer online games framework and engine to develop turn based and real time games. It provides a simple way of creating games on a portable and robust server architecture. The server is coded in Java and can use Python for your game description, provides a MySQL backend and uses an TCP transport channel to communicate with the players. Our reference clients are coded using Java in order to achieve maximum portability and use open technologies too. Marauroa manages the client server communication and provides an object orientated view of the world for game developers. It further handles database access in a transparent way to store player accounts, character progress and the state of the world.

Marboard is an early prototype of a vector graphics program allowing live collaboration over the Internet. While it is not ready for production use yet, it is a good proof that Marauroa is not only suitable for games.
