[ANN] Solipsis, a shared virtual worlds in python
Hello every one, I am pleased to announce the release of Solipsis, licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Solipsis is a peer-to-peer system for a massively multi-participant virtual world. Like any real pear-to-pear system, there is no server at all: it only relies on end-users' machines. Overview -------- The shared virtual worlds of nowadays MMORPG strongly rely on privately owned servers. These servers are an expensive bottleneck that limits their scalability. In addition, these servers bound the freedom of the virtual world inhabitants and the imagination of the world-builders and developers. Solipsis solves these problems with a free and open-source system. Solipsis is a public virtual territory. The world is initially empty and only users will fill it by creating and running entities. No pre-existing cities, habitants nor scenario to respect... Solipsis is open-source, so everybody can enhance the protocols and the algorithms. Moreover, the system architecture clearly separates the different tasks, so that peer-to-peer hackers as well as multimedia geeks can find a good place to have fun here! Getting the software -------------------- The current version is 0.8.1, available as a tar.gz and as a windows installer http://solipsis.netofpeers.net/wiki/DownLoad Official Web site ----------------- http://solipsis.netofpeers.net/wiki/HomePage Requirements ------------ Current implementations of node and navigator require: * pythonâ(at least 2.3) * wx-pythonâ(at least 2.5) * twistedâ (at least 1.3, 2.0 not tested yet) * Python Imaging Library (PIL)â Enjoy! -- Emmanuel Bréton LOGILAB, Paris (France) Tel: 01 45 32 03 12 http://www.logilab.org
