I'm working on a Client / Server game. My plan is to write the Game code on the server (and some on the client) in Python and use Zope as the persistent database solution and interface to the server. The game objects will probably be based on C++ objects and I was considering using SOAP as the transport for all non-high traffic messages between the server and the client (high volume messages will probably have to go UDP). For UI I was thinking of DHTML with a Windows application using IE 5.5 embedded in it. This is a high level look at what I was considering and I am looking for advice and opinions - especially in regards to Zope or other alternatives. I know the magnatude of the project - I do have some others to help, but I am the only one with actual game development experience. The game code WILL be Open Source and is primarily to teach myself and others some new technology with a intereasting purpose.
