This is the source code to the Whirled online virtual world platform.
If you've come here hoping to hack on the Whirled server and improve it for fun and profit, then beware that Whirled is a many tentacled beast with more moving parts than a stadium-sized Rube Goldberg machine. Moreover, it was unceremoniously yanked from its crufty ancestral home to rescue it from destruction.
It would take many tens of thousands of dollars to pay someone with the sufficient level of expertise to clean it up and make it easy for normal humans to hack on and improve. We don't have the time or money to do that, so you're stuck with what you see here. A complex, tempermental project that uses half a dozen major technologies to do hundreds of barely related things.
If you're not very proficient in Java, JDBC and servlets, reasonably proficient in ActionScript and Flex, familiar with GWT, and familiar with either Postgres or MySQL, then you're going to have a long hard road in front of you.
Good luck!
The code is built with the Ant build tool. The main build target is distall, invoked like so:
ant distall
There are a number of intermediate build targets that are useful when iterating on individual parts
of the project, those can be seen by running ant -p:
% ant -p
Buildfile: .../msoy/build.xml
Main targets:
asclient Builds the Flash world client.
clean Cleans out compiled code.
compile Builds java class files.
distall Builds entire system (does not package).
distcleanall Fully cleans out the application and all subprojects.
flashapps Builds all Flash clients and applets.
gclients Builds all GWT clients (use -Dpages to choose which).
genasync Regenerates GWT Async interfaces.
package Builds entire system and generates dpkg files.
tests Runs unit tests.
thane-client Builds the thane game client.
viewer Build the viewer for the SDK.
Default target: compile
It is possible to run a test instance of the Whirled server on a developer machine. A variety of configuration files must be copied into place and configured. The following files:
etc/build_settings.properties.dist
etc/burl-server.conf.dist
etc/burl-server.properties.dist
etc/msoy-server.conf.dist
etc/msoy-server.properties.dist
must be copied to:
etc/test/build_settings.properties
etc/test/burl-server.conf
etc/test/burl-server.properties
etc/test/msoy-server.conf
etc/test/msoy-server.properties
and edited to reflect the configuration of your local instance. The .dist config files contain
comments explaining each of the configurations. The most important configuration is for a local
database server (either MySQL or Postgres) which the Whirled server will use to store data.
Assuming you have successfully run ant distall to build the server and client, and you have
put the configuration files in place, and your database server is properly configured and running,
you can run the local Whirled instance like so:
./bin/msoyserver
This will report log messages to the console indicating the status of the running server. If you see something like the following, then you're in good shape:

You can then navigate to http://localhost:8080/ to access your local Whirled instance.
