So, who here is considering writing a server that talks (only)
with a graphical client. And not just a web browser. I'm talking
fully 3-d rendering with all the assembly (or whatever) that goes
with it.
I personally, don't know diddly about high end graphics, or even
non-java GUI programming, so doing such a client would be out
of my real.
Does anyone know of any (GNU or similarly licensed) thing that
might function as such a client, if one could supply the back
end?
I'm picturing a large number of servers (100+) connected
either over either 100bt lans, or possible over a much slower
internet link, with each server being a part of the whole, though
it is transparent to the end user (at least as much as possible).
I'm considering writing the servers in java for all the normal
reasons, and there will probably be a java client sitting under
the graphics on the client's (player's) machine.
As usual, waiting for your comments!
