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.

Waldemar Tribus Ragnar Danter Matthias Toz The Paranoid Team Members, Past & Present Games documentation http://arianne.sourceforge.net/screens/stendhal.jpg Stendhal Stendhal is our reference game for Marauroa 1.00. It primarily tests the new multizones features. It is coded in Java both client and server. Objectives Design Doc Open Tasks: Help Stendhal! Work with us. Implementation Ideas Stendhal Documentation User Manual (Manual del usuario) Bestiary How To Build How To Install Initial Steps With Stendhal How To Use Tiled To Create Maps http://arianne.sourceforge.net/screens/mapacman.jpg Mapacman mapacman was our reference game used to test work done in Marauroa. It was the main test platform of Delta2 algorithm. It is coded in Python on both the client and server sides but unfortunately it is now not working because of the major changes made to Marauroa 1.00. We plan to recover it soon after the Marauroa 1.00 release. How To Build Mapacman Initial Steps With Mapacman http://arianne.sourceforge.net/screens/gladiators.jpg Gladiators Gladiators was our reference game which was used to kick off Marauroa. It is programmed using the Blitz library on the client side and uses Java on the server side. Unfortunately, the resulting client wasn't portable and so it was abandoned since Marauroa version 0.4x How To Build Gladiators
