Open Settlers

A free, open source and web based client-server implementation of Settlers of Catan using GWT

Introduction

OpenSettlers is a web-based version of the board game Settlers of Catan. This client-server system supports multiple simultaneous games between people and computer-controlled opponents. Initially created as an AI research project.

The client may be run as a Java application, or as an applet when accessed from a web site which also hosts a OpenSettlers server.

The server may be configured to use a database to store account information (details below). A client applet to create user accounts is also provided.

OpenSettlers is an open-source project licensed under the GPL. The software is hosted at http://github.com/nsp/OpenSettlers. Questions, bugs, and patches can be directed there.

Yet another client?

A lot of Settlers implementations exist. None of them target all variants, and only a few target the browser. OpenSettlers wants to provide a complete set of libraries to play a game offline against bots, online against other players and bots, a server, a meta-server and a meta-meta-server.
