[sfbol-planning] Other online wargame engine

[Devlyn D. <de...@ya...>]

Check out the following:

http://www.vasl.org/     
Apparently, the author of this software is working on
modifying the code to create the ‘VASL Engine.’  The
end result would be an extensible online wargame
engine.  I'm not sure how far along they are, or how
the license would work out, but I don't think they
have plans for releasing the source for the engine. 
They would probably just publish the spec for creating
modules.

Also, check this out: http://www.vasl.org/DVOL  this
appears to be the first game that is being done with
the modified engine.  As a matter of fact, from what I
understand, DVOL is the first game being made this way
and a lot of what is being done to extend VASL to
develop DVOL is going back into the VASL codebase. 
I've looked at the alpha client and it looks very
promising.

This is actually where I see us being able to take
this project.  By creating an engine from the very
beginning with the idea that it would be extended and
modified to specific needs (in our case SBOL), I think
we would be creating something worthwhile.
