Client & User Interface

• Custom client font
• Chat balloons that move with player
• Hold down mouse to walk
• "Enemy" list much like the current friends list

Changes I Would Like to See

• Smoother player movement
• Animated terrain overlays for walking in water, tall grass, etc.
• Replace gory images such as blood on walls and floor with something like bones when "blood" is turned off in client.
• A type of collision through which launching ranged attack is possible (e.g. firing arrows over a table or through a fence).
• Optional audio alert for private messages
• Sprite that displays user's current weapon or weapon class during combat

Recommendations

Software to Use With Stendhal

• AntiMicro
  • Because of its text-based player-npc interaction and mouse-click battle systems Stendhal isn't really designed to be played using a gamepad or joystick. However, I myself still enjoy using a gamepad for walking and exploring. AntiMicro is the best utility I have found for mapping keyboard input to a gamepad or joystick.
  • Another great feature that can be useful in Stendhal is its ability to define macros. For example, a button can be set up to execute a command to say "Hi". Just add a key combination like the following: "H" + "I" + "Enter".
  • Cross-platform and open-source. I have tested it on these systems: Windows Vista and 7 (32/64 bit), Debian Linux 8, and FreeBSD 10.

• Captura (discontinued)
  • An excellent screen capturing tool. Unfortunately, not cross-platform. It supports encoding with FFmpeg & some other tools (which I haven't used yet).
  • Windows only and open-source.

• HexChat
  • My favorite IRC client for chatting on the Arianne freenode.net channels: #arianne and #arianne-chat
  • Cross-platform and Open source.

• QuiteRSS
  • An excellent desktop RSS/Atom feed reader. Use it to keep track of offers made with <npc>Harold</npc>.
  • Cross-platform and open-source.

Tools for Development

Graphics

• GIMP
  • The most popular free & open source photo & graphics editor.
• Inkscape
  • Editor for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).
• KRITA
  • Just discovered this one. Don't know much about it yet, other than it is creating graphics.
