After much coding and effort, we are proud to announce the first public alpha release of the MazeRunner (MMO)RPG!
(Note: This is not an official release, but you can now get it from CVS, branch mazerunner_rpg)
It currently features:
Both a client and server (all code belonging to this project).
The client and server have a unique communication method: The server is actually based on a very simple chat server, thus, the client manages and responds to most of the actions. Why do this when users can hack their client? I don't have any problem with that as it's perfectly easy for them to run their own servers. The server code is included with the main distribution so unhacked clients can always use the main server while the others run their own.
Client features:
The client itself takes advantage of Swing's HTML parsing abilities, thus, can render HTML. This means that you can color or change your font size in anyway you want, and easily export the logs to HTML to check them out later.
Feel free to keep watch on the development, and expect a release soon!
