[sfbol-planning] Similar Projects

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

I have been doing some research trying to find
projects with similar goals so we could see how they
solved their problems and maybe recruit some help. 
Below are some of the projects I found (there was
more, but many of them seem to have been abandoned.)

http://civil.sourceforge.net/index.php
This is a real time strategy game about the Civil War.
 Being a real-time game, it isn't quite in the same
ball park as our project, but they seem to have a well
defined client/server setup.  They also have a very
active mailing list going on at sourceforge.

http://www.yagga.net
Yagga is "A system and a language to design parallel ,
multiplayer gaming worlds," written in Java.  Not sure
what to make of this, but it seemed fairly well
documented.  Might be a good source for ideas.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/osge/
This is the project page for The Open Source Game
Engine.  I don't know how far this project got, but it
seems to have goals for an engine that coincide with
ours.  I sent an email to the project admin and he
expressed interest in contributing to the project.
