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=20
the persistent database solution and interface to the server. The game=20
objects will probably be based on C++ objects and I was considering=20
using SOAP as the transport for all non-high traffic messages between=20
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=20
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.
Thanks in advance,
David Stidolph
