Project Modules

There are no modules declared in this project.

The Vilya library

The Vilya library provides various facilities for making networked multiplayer games. Its various packages include:

  • whirled - builds on the crowd framework and defines a scene graph with portals to move between scenes and provides hooks for distributing and updating scene data (for example isometric rendering information) over the network
  • parlor - builds upon the crowd framework to create the notion of a game with players and provides tools for making turn based games
  • puzzle - builds on the parlor and media frameworks to provide tools for implementing puzzle games in a networked environment
  • micasa - builds on the parlor framework to provide lobbies and matchmaking for multiplayer games

Javadoc documentation is provided.

Tutorial-style documentation is somewhat sparse at the moment, but inspection of the code in the src/test/java/ directory shows examples of use of many features of the library.

Building

The library is built using Ant.

Invoke ant with any of the following targets:

all: builds the distribution files and javadoc documentation
compile: builds only the class files (dist/classes)
javadoc: builds only the javadoc documentation (dist/docs)
dist: builds the distribution jar files (dist/*.jar)

Artifacts

A Maven repository containing released versions of the Vilya Java and ActionScript artifacts are maintained here. To add a Vilya dependency to a Maven project, add the following to your pom.xml:

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.threerings</groupId>
    <artifactId>vilya</artifactId>
    <version>1.6</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

To add it to an Ivy, SBT, or other Maven repository using project, simply remove the vast majority of the boilerplate above.

If you prefer to download pre-built binaries, those can be had here:

Distribution
