Marauroa is Arianne's Multiplayer Online Engine, that you can use to build your own online games. Marauroa handles client-server communication and object persistence in a database.
Marauroa is completely written in Java using a multithreaded server architecture with a TCP oriented network protocol, a SQL based persistence engine and a flexible game system based on open systems totally expandible and modifiable by developers.
Marauroa is based on a philosophy we call Action/Perception, on each turn a perception is sent to clients explaining them what they perceive and clients can ask server to do any action in their names using actions.
Marauroa is totally game agnostic and makes very little assumptions about what are you trying to do, allowing a great freedom to create whatever type of game you want.
