Monday March 05, 2007 Open Source Java Gaming
My colleague Chris Mellisinos is a busy guy, what with his video podcasts and the number of games I know he plays. But he's found time to make the Project Darkstar technology he's been working on open source. In the words of the project web site:
The first technology release under this project, the Sun(tm) Game Server, is a game agnostic, platform agnostic server technology that provides online game developers the ability to create a wide variety of games that can be provisioned through a single server platform. From mobile to desktop, online game development is about to change forever.
I gather it will be released under the GPL in a month or so , giving Java developers a whole new arena to program. Pretty cool stuff.

"I do not believe Microsoft are really interested in open standards, but just paying lip service to them. The history of the OOXML and ODF "discussions" supports this theory."

RIAA continues to do its best to stomp out innovation. How long do we have to wait before someone sorts out this abusive organisation?
