Introduction

This is the home for the DarkMMO project.

DarkMMO is an MMORPG engine that uses Neverwinter Nights data and tools.
The client is based on the Ardor3D scenegraph library and the server is a Project Darkstar application.

I've begun work on the scripting layer of the DarkMMO client.  The DarkMMO scripting layer uses the Java Scripting API to support many different scripting languages.  As such I've had to solve the general case of sandboxing scripting code.  Interestingly enough, this same solution also works for sandboxing Java code itself.  Eventually it will get put back but until then you can read about it in my blog.

Currently, I am working on the resource update system for DarkMMO as I need that to assign scripts.  This is complicated by the fact that it needs to be a dynamic update system because I want to enable in-world world editing ala traditional MUDs. 
This will be built as a separable system that can be used by other games if they wish.

I'm tentatively calling it "PushmePullu" in reference to one of my favorite childhood books.  Right now I am investigating existing distributed database technologies and will start prototyping shortly.
