[Twisted-Python] Flag Day
On Sunday, I plan to do a release of Twisted-0.9.0; things are looking like they're on track for that. This release will, among other things, add a new CVS module (named Twisted) and completely change how distributed webservers work. Gloop is going away completely, to be replaced by pb. If you are currently running a twisted server, you'll probably have to rebuild your .spl manually in order to get it to work with the new webserver. Since it will be looking for a different file to discover your distributed web service on, your current "personal" web services will be unavailable from sunday evening until you convert them to the new style. ______ __ __ _____ _ _ | ____ | \_/ |_____] |_____| |_____| |_____ | | | | @ t w i s t e d m a t r i x . c o m http://twistedmatrix.com/users/glyph

If you want a setup.py for that, you have to act NOW. Is the new CVS module in place, where is it, ...? -- Juergen Hermann, Karlsruhe, Germany | IRC: snibril
There is a new CVS repository now, module "Twisted". I don't expect to have a setup.py for this version, but thanks for your efforts so far! ______ __ __ _____ _ _ | ____ | \_/ |_____] |_____| |_____| |_____ | | | | @ t w i s t e d m a t r i x . c o m http://twistedmatrix.com/users/glyph On Sat, 7 Jul 2001, Juergen Hermann wrote:

Folks, I had an excellent -- and long -- meeting today with the people behind the OpenCyc effort at Cycorp. I'm very interested in using knowledge bases like Cyc to advance the state of the art of massively multiplayer virtual worlds. I believe that the next wave of MMPVR will employ knowledge bases to capture game abstractions, rules, and semantics. The Cyc folks are very interested in helping with that effort. Naturally, integrating Cyc with Twisted seems like the right way to pursue this. :-) Y'all probably read the article that was posted on Slashdot awhile back, but here it is again: www.latimes.com/business/cutting/lat_cyc010621.htm and the main sites: http://www.cyc.com http://www.opencyc.org The Cycorp folks are going to develop a Python interface to Cyc, and we'll be getting access to early releases of OpenCyc here shortly. I'd like whoever is interested in this to read over the docs when they become available, and to be prepared to submit feedback to the OpenCyc folks to help them make the docs as useful as possible. Cheers, Jason
Ok, I'm very excited about this, but i'm just curious as to what examples you might have come up with specifically for MM games. Mainly an AI thing or an ontology engine, or both? By "ontology engine" I mean some kind of system that will cause things to happen in the universe that lead to some goal. Kinda like logic programming, I guess. After thinking of this, I was reminded of an RPG project I read about a while ago - Totality (http://sourceforge.net/projects/totality/). It's got this "Conflict Generator" that really strikes me as something that would work well with something like OpenCyc (even though I have no clue as to what OpenCyc is or how it works ;)). Check out the docs section for totality and read about the conflict generator. very interesting stuff. Sorry for the brambling message, I need to get to sleep.
