Arete PBEM in Development [ANNOUNCE] From: philen@earn.aa.ans.net (Phillip Lenhardt) Date: Thu, 31 Dec 1998 00:00:00 +0000 I would like to announce that my pbem game, Arete, is in development. Arete is a strategic fantasy pbem that is 100% computer moderated. Players take the roles of individuals and may choose many courses of action: empire building, magical research, exploration, etc. It is most closely related to Olympia and Atlantis, but seems to be diverging rapidly as my design goals are refined. At this point, it is not playable, but the development mailing list is up and the web page has a significant amount of information on my design goals. The web page is at http://www.phlange.com/arete and to join the development mailing list send a message to majordomo@phlange.com with the line "subscribe arete-dev" in the body. Arete is implemented in Python, an object-oriented scripting language and currently consists of approximately 4000 lines of code. I intend to publish a great deal of the code as open source once it is in a useable state with sufficient documentation. -phil -- In the long run, we are all dead. -JMK philen@ans.net Up
