Legend of Adventure

An action adventure MMORPG that runs in the browser!

LoA has the following goals:

  • Infinitely large, procedurally generated worlds.
  • Novel AI for every NPC and many non-NPCs.
  • Semi-intelligent learning chatbot with individual training data for each NPC.
  • To provide a high degree of replayability.
  • Realtime, massively multiplayer.
  • Horizontally scalable to hundreds or thousands of machines.

Running

I absolutely hate how Go's GOPATH variable, since it requires your project to be in the same location as its dependencies. To get around this limitation, LoA lives in /opt/legend-of-adventure (I keep all of my code in /opt). /opt/src is a soft link to /opt. If you have your own Go workspace set up locally, you should only need to link /opt/legend-of-adventure to where you've go get'd it to and create the /opt/src link.

Once you have the package cloned, simply run

make  # go fmt, get, build, etc.
./server.o  # Run!

The server will start on port 8080 or whatever you pass as --port.

Status

This project is currently undergoing a port from Python to Go. As such, most of the Python code is considered deprecated and may not run. Most of the functionality from the Python code has not yet been ported.

The last stable version of the Python server can be found on the python branch.

Requirements

A modern browser is all that is required to play. Note that this game can be quite resource intensive, so a fast computer is recommended.

Any server capable of compiling and running Go 1.2 or higher should be able to run the server.

The Python version of this project relies on Redis, though this requirement is not present in the Go port.
