RIDGE

Ruby Interactive Dynamic Game Environment

• ridge.rubyforge.org/

DESCRIPTION

Ridge is designed to be a game system which enables dynamic game object creation using pure Ruby. Game administrators will be able to expand and build upon the game world either by writing classes to be used within the game, or modifying the game objects in real-time, which would then be saved to an arbitrary data storage. This type of game building can be extended to players, either in full or limited form.

FEATURES

• Game may be played through a traditional MUD client, through a web interface, a 2D/3D GUI and possibly others.
  • Provide an API for area/mob/object creation.
• OLC (OnLine Creation) of areas/mobs/objects.
  • Command set for area/mob/object creation.
  • Building may also be done using pure Ruby.
• Areas (either admin or player created)
  • Very limited initial ‘world’ for players to interact with each other.
  • Players may create their own areas, which can be linked together to form cities.
  • World hiearchy: Lands -> Cities -> Rooms
• Mobs (mobiles) include enemies, NPCs, vendors, etc.
  • Enemies - Can be set to a certain faction.
  • NPC - May operate as butlers, ‘pack mules’, or anything else in the imagination.
  • Vendors - Who sell objects (possibly created by the player(s)).
• Objects include anything that can be used by the player or mobs.
  • Typical weapon/armor/accessory stuff.
  • Player created items, limited only by imagination.
  • Items may be sold to/by vendors (either player created or NPC).
