Helen - Java Adventure Game Engine download

Helen is an adventure game engine written in Java 6, designed to support multiple users. Where Helen attempts to be unique is enabling users with powerful extensibility without a grammar-heavy language (thanks to Groovy).

Features

Extensible model allows powerful customization
Flexible grammar parsing using regex and fuzzy-match routines
Messaging broadcast, using grammar rewrite substitution, including "distant" messages to send to nearby rooms
Groovy scripting to build objects, rooms, directions, etc.
Verbs can be designated per location, object, or user. This allows context-sensitive logic to be available via simplified encapsulation.
