Arianne is the name of the project that aims to create a free open source framework to create multiplayer online games.
Arianne is composed of several projects like Marauroa, a java implementation of theframework to run games, and all games using it, such as Stendhal.
- What is Marauroa?
Marauroa is a free open source GPL implementation of a persistent multiplayer online game framework using Java, MySQL for storage and TCP for data connections to clients.
- How is Arianne licensed?
- It is licensed under the GPL.

- What version system do you use?
- CVS
- Why do you use CVS, it's rubbish?
- Although we know better control version systems exists we want to mantain with CVS.
Contributing
- I want to join the project, can I have cvs access?
- Our usual procedure is to ask potential team members to submit initial work as patches, at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=1111&atid=301111
- Please note our developers may take some time to look over your patch, but be assured we value all contributions, and will give you feedback, or submit the patch, as appropriate.
Marauroa project
- How many players can the engine support?
- Stendhal has had up to 60 players online, I've no idea of the limits.
- I want to use Marauroa for my game, where do I start?
Read how to create a game using Marauroa, it should give you a nice idea.
Stendhal project
- I want to translate Stendhal to another language, any hints?
- to be filled in (by durkham?)
- I want to use Stendhal as a basis for my own RPG, can you help?
- Stendhal was written as a test case for marauroa zone changes. Using it as a base game for an RPG is not advised. You will find a lot to do with our own map, quest, and NPC system is hardcoded. Using marauroa as a framework for your own RPG is what we advise.
- But, I can't write my own RPG, can I use Stendhal as a base and make my own maps?
- Ok, but please follow our conventions as you never know what is hard coded. And you will need to learn Java.
