Solipsis - a Decentralized Open-Source MMORPG

Posted by Zonk on from the reality's-building-blocks dept.

Anonymous Reader writes "Calling it an MMORPG is a bit of a misnomer because at this point there aren't any players, much less hit points, monsters, or flaming swords. Solipsis is an open-source project that aims to create a decentralized multi-user virtual world. It's still very much in its infancy, and as such the visuals are a bit lacking, but the aim is to create an endlessly scalable user-contributed world and it seems it's a nice platform to play with."

    Also vaguely interesting and along similar lines is Alan Kay's Croquet project.

    It's not particularly mind blowing, but it has potential.
