    Knit

    Knit

    Lightweight game framework for Roblox

    Lightweight game framework for Roblox. A lightweight framework that simplifies communication between core parts of your Roblox experience and seamlessly bridges the gap between the server and the client. Services and controllers are the core of Knit. These objects provide a foundation for Roblox experiences. By orienting core game logic around services and controllers, developers will inherit cleaner organization across codebases and easier maintainability. Services and controllers are easy to create, and provide a built-in networking layer. Knit automatically provides networking between the client and services. Since Knit handles the networking infrastructure, developers are not left with the burden of manually creating RemoteEvent and RemoteFunction objects throughout the hierarchy. Each service has the ability to expose specific endpoints to the client through declarative code.

    HexMUD

    A generic C++ MUD server featuring a strategy-style hexagon map

    Sourceforge is no longer being updated! While not specifically a MUD project, this project's basic concept has merged into another that can be found here: https://github.com/nicrohobak/Toolbox Along with an additional, related project of extreme interest: https://github.com/nicrohobak/AnsiGL ------------------------------------------------------------ HexMUD aims to be a fully-featured, game-system agnostic MUD server with a centrally focused feature of an added top-down hexagon-based map (dynamically generated and drawn in ANSI/ASCII art) giving a basic visual representation of your immediate surroundings in addition to traditional descriptions. Many (most?) MUD servers hard-code a specific game system, or a specific game setting within their code, but HexMUD strives to be as generic as possible in this area, allowing each separate administrator to easily build a custom code base while also gaining access to all of the core features HexMUD provides.

    LuaLinq

    LuaLinq

    Lightweight Linq-like library for Lua

    Lightweight Linq-like library for Lua. For the latest version of this project, refer to http://code.google.com/p/lualinq/ Sorry for that. The syntax is very similar to LINQ and reminds of SQL, for those who already know those languages. It’s released with a BSD 3 clause license. It uses a very basic subset of Lua, which allows it to be used also in very restrictive embedding scenarios (e.g. videogames). The focus on data instead of processing makes it suitable for all those scripts where querying the hosting application entities is paramount: RPG videogames, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.
