Inspired by this post: http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article2259.asp
I decided to try my hand at creating an MMO in a weekend with ruby. I always thought it would be cool to have an original 2d zelda style MMO.
Using ruby was a breeze. The gosu game engine project is easy to work with and GServer is a great library for creating servers of all types.
Well basically, I ran into some scheduling issues and I am not that close to finishing. But I will probably work a few more weekends on this. After one weekend I have:
- character moving around the screen and firing weapon
- world map with 10×10 map tiles and randomly generated rock terrain
- Game server working allowing infinite ( theoretically ) connections
- Game server chat working
Still to come:
- Game server movement and collision
- items
- quests/point to the game
