Omega: Universe over IP

[mmorsi]

Greetings! This post is to share a side project that I've been working on for a little while now.[url]https://github.com/movitto/omega[/url] See the wiki for many screenshots of the current UI. [url]https://github.com/movitto/omega/wiki[/url] Omega is an open source (AGPLv3+) universe simulator written in Ruby (based on event machine) that serves requests over the json-rpc protocol. Includes is a simulation server and library, a slew of utility binaries and example scripts, as well as a complete test suite and HTML5 / OpenGL frontend based on middleman and three.js[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON-RPC[/url] server is broken up into subsystems and implements full role based access control so that the administrator can very tightly / granularily restrict which users have access to view and modify which entities. See the extensive documention in the project repository and reference API.[url]http://rubydoc.info/github/movitto/omega/master/frames[/url] project is still relatively early in development, so be sure to check back often for updates. Just putting this out there to attract some attention and get feedback. Of course anyone that wanted to try it out, send some feedback, and/or contribute would be more than welcome, thanks for looking!
