==== Description: ====
Meta-Game aims at being a full-featured engine for computer role-playing
games, possibly massively multi-player online ones.
Its purpose is also to be an exercise in style and design, making it elegant
using modern C++ techniques, and even exploiting features of the forthcoming
C++0x standard which already has some parts implemented in some compilers.
The project is only in designing stage, so there is no code yet. It will use
a client/server approach, where both client and server should be fairly
independent; clear protocol specification aims at making it possible to have
various competing clients, with different capabilities (text mode, 2D,
3D...).
Work will first be focused on the server, which will make use of userland
threading and asynchronous I/O, targeting both ease of coding and efficiency.
Type of storage has yet to be specified, but an RDMBS such as PostgreSQL is
likely. The rules as well as quests and campaigns will be scripted in Python,
making it an hybrid programming platform.
It is unclear at the moment whether the 3D reference client will reuse an
existing graphical engine or not, only free software will be considered
however.
The first stage of development will be specifying the protocol, with both
network efficiency and modularity in mind, as well as defining the server
architecture.
==== Other Software Required: ====
A C++0x compiler (GCC 4.3+)
Boost C++ libraries
