This wiki is actually evolving to a stable documentation source. Please help us to keep it clean and sorted, by editing style and splitting the content on several files. I hope that around 10 days of work will be enough to sort this mess-wiki that is the result of exporting the data of our old wiki.

The Arianne Project

What is Arianne?

Arianne 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 UDP transport channel to communicate with dozens of players. Our reference clients are coded using Java and the C language in order to achieve maximum portability and use open technologies too.
