Arianne ALPHA 2 Released

Miguel Angel Blanch Lardin writes "Arianne is a Game Engine to build Internet games and applications. You can use it to create your own games, from RPG to Realtime strategy games, arcade or Turn based strategy ones." We noted Arianne two years ago.

Miguel continues: This release of Arianne is a major milestone on our goal to get a working framework for simple online games creation. It features a new working and playable 2D Client with new gfx, music and sfx.
This release features also a working RP system on C++ with the next actions: Move, Chat, Attack, Spell, Get, Put, Consume, Look.
Arianne allows now a hardware limited number of connections to the server so you can have as much players as your hardware allow.
All files on Arianne features XML syntax.

Go to Arianne and get it.
Report problems with Arianne to Sourceforge Bugs Tracker

P.S:
We need binary packages for BeOS and MacOS X.
We need reports about BeOS, MacOSX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, IRIX, QNX, Linux and Windows NT.
We need new GFX ( don't ask what are them, look and do ).
We need new SFX ( _.wav )

another "game development on the cheap" thread :)

[H3XA]

which means of course another troll bath... :(

seems the topic of the day is free game development.... first Freeciv, then the article on "mods" and now a game engine

now every genre has been covered that I like - "civ games", FPS and now RPG. I hope someone makes a RPG of high quality with this engine, perhaps a rewrite of an old console classic *hint* *hint*

Dear Slashdot Editors

[Disevidence]

I would like to draw everyone's attention to something.

Recently, the slashdot editors changed the rules for people with low karma.

Now, people with negative or "terrible" karma can only post 2 comments per day, which is blatantly censorship.

This has forced all the negative users to post anoynmously, which creates more noise at higher levels, and drowns out legitimate AC's. I find this needlessly foolish, as I cannot listen to genuine anonymous posts due to pwp and random crapfloods. IP banning is pointless, because it is so easy to use proxies.

Please, allow the negative users no restrictions, so they move back to -1.

Thank you.

The karma rules were changed, but no story was posted - where are you supposed to talk about it?

Right here.

cx stands for christmas island, which is a very nice domain if you think about it.
friend of mine has his nice linux box out there too

He was referring to the infamous goatse.cx link that is often posted here.

Re:Yoda

[selderrr]

oh come'on, it's a joke for bill's sake !

/. is full of this kind of snearing. keed in mind that, if each of the few hunderdthousand /. readers were to post such a remark ,only once, you'd have hundreds per day. So all in all, /. is a fairly tolerant place it seems.

And anyways, I wasn't laughing at the poster in person. Just the coincidence of yoda-speak. I found it quite funny. If you don't, don't moderate a post of +2 as 'overrated' because your sense of humor differs. And I definitely wasn't overrated since I wasn't even rated !
