cursino is an interesting breed of application, to say the least. Born from an idea that Matt gave me to make a Web-based casino application, it quickly became one of my pet projects. I figured that there are already thousands of web-based things, so why not make a character-based version?
Cursino includes its own (incomplete) telnet server, and a plugin API to interact with the games. It also has an IPC system, and will have drivers for various databases (for state information and high scores, etc). It uses curses (actually tells curses to use the network socket instead of the terminal it's running on) and many things are pluggable. Currently "ported" games are cgalaga, a VERY incomplete galaga clone I wrote some time ago (it's only for testing at the moment). I say "ported" as the majority of the plugin API has not yet been implemented, so I cannot really test it.
I plan on getting anonymous CVS up, along with cvsweb. Check back here for future updates.
cursino will be under the BSD license.
