astron_examples

IMPORTANT!

This project depends on features in https://github.com/TheCheapestPixels/panda3d

Examples

01_simple_example - The most minimalistic MMO

All this demo does is to create a small map and allow an arbitrary number of clients, all sharing the same credentials (username guest, password guest), to log in, move about the map and see each other. To use it:

start astrond with the given astrond.yml
start simple_example_server.py
start two or more simple_example_client.py FIXME: Add detailed description of what happens when you start the server/clients

02_sqlite_db - The minimum of persistence

This example elaborates on 01 by adding proper user accounts; before starting everything as before, run simple_example_add_user (with a --username ) to create an account.

FIXME: Currently, this example is non-functional. My intention is that avatars (specifically, their positions and heading) now get saved in the DB, so when you log in again, your avatar gets recreated at the same position where you logged out the last time.

Notation

TODO is a feature request. FIXME is a known bug. Both are in comments in the relevant files, except that I'm using this too as a general notebook, me lazy bastard:

FIXME

simple_example
- allow for setting loglevel
sqlite_db
- Finish changing the setup process to CREATE/ACTIVATE DOs instead of .generate()

TODO
