Sun's Project Darkstar Game Server Platform No More

Posted by timothy on Wednesday February 3, 2010 @05:00AM from the dropped-off-the-moving-truck dept.

sproketboy writes "Project Darkstar, an open source software platform from Sun labs that simplifies the development of horizontally scalable servers for online games, is being discontinued as of the Oracle acquisition. This project, mentioned a couple of years back on Slashdot, was a unique concept for building an application server specific to on-line gaming. Sadly they were so close at version 0.9.11 (which is still very stable). Hopefully the open source community can get involved and help continue work on this project."

I guess it's pretty serious. by Phizzle · 2010-02-03 05:49 · Score: 0, Offtopic

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl whose older brother used this. Man what a bummer! On a related note same person saw Ferris Bueller pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
