Subject: [WF-Protocols] Questions about Atlas
Message-ID: <79a3fbf6050628085033ff5811@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I'm working on a project with a philosoiphy similar to that of
WorldForge. It's called DreamStones (gro.clinux.org), and it's 2D
tile-based and not real-time (meaning, the movement is "roguelike",
there's no game time). I mainly want it to be a world building tool,
that works in a free and open way like a wiki.

Now, I'm strongly in favour of inter-community cooperation, so I was
wondering if my project could have anything to do with WorldForge. The
most obvious way would be to use Atlas as a protocol. So, I'm writing
to you to know if it would suit my purposes.

How much of atlas is tied to the worldforge engine ? Can things
(either the protocol or the engine) be easily adapted for a 2D
tile-based game ? Am I better off keeping on using my homegrown stuff
?

Thank you,

Emile Kroeger

(since the protocol list looks like it's been dead for over a year,
I'm cross-posting to the general list)
