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.

It features a new, rich and expanding world in which players can explore towns, plains, caves and dungeons. Players will meet NPCs and acquire tasks and quests for valuable experience and cold hard cash. The character will develop and grow and with each new level become stronger and better. With the money acquired new items can be bought and armor and weapons improved. And for the blood thirsty ones out there; satisfy your killing desires by roaming the world in search of evil monsters! Marboard is an early prototype of a vector graphics program allowing live collaboration over the Internet.
