This project gives you freedom to get a fully-customized plugin for CraftBukkit Minecraft servers. You choose what to include and build it up. No more command collisions, no unnecessary memory and processor overhead on your server.

The system is divided into two parts: the client and the server. Clients at different geographic locations in the network connect to a single server by specifying its IPv4 address. The user gets into the system using his/her username and password. Each user has to make an account for himself in the beginning. His account information will be stored on the server machine in persistent form. Server sessions will have no effect on its accounts. The server can be running anywhere on the network. The players play in a virtual environment among walls and obstacles (walls are porous, beware!). The shots fired at an opponent within range will cause him to lose 'life' points. The target is to kill maximum number of opponents. Once a player is killed he is logged out and then may reenter. At the end a scorecard showing the number of logins and the number of kills of all players of the current session is displayed at each terminal. I have used fairly basic models, animations and a simple map.

We are going to teach eachother how to build AI and new kinds of game objects in this network using intuitive dragAndDrop. Its going to be a space for experimenting with fun and useful tools in new ways. Version 0.8.0 has some advanced components that will be working soon. The plan is a massively multiplayer space where we design, evolve, and play with game objects and do AI research together which controls those game objects along with directly playing the games. The main data format is, from xorlisp which is also in progress, immutable binary forest nodes, so if millions of people build that together nobody can damage or change anyone else's data since its all constant. You dont change variables. You create new data that points at existing constant data, as deep as you need it. I have mindmap lists, definitions, and 2 editable properties working that way with 2 kinds of event listeners that work locally. Its not a networked system yet, but the datastructs are ready to scale with it.
