Package: TRON Game Engine
System name: tron
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

Description:
The ideia behind project is the creation of a free and open source game engine 
for tile (isometric 2d) and 3d games entirely in standard and extensions Java 
APIs (like Java2D and Java3D).
 
The game engine has support for graphics (2D and 3D), sound, music,  
multiplayer (it is a game engine like a Redmond company engine, but free, open 
source and Java based) and artificial inteligence.

In addition, we may support some specific game kinds, like strategy games, war 
games, role playing games, fighting games or some others.

Initially, the focus is desktop games, but we can extend to applet based games 
and games for small devices.

Support for massive multiplayer is other very interesting aspect, but it is not 
a priority at the moment.

The currently Free Software Java suite doesn´t have a JVM with critical 
extensions needed by the engine (ex. VolatileImage or Java3D API). I will use 
some free JVM implementations (ex. Blackdown Linux JVM or the Sun JDK 1.4.0) 
under development stage. But I am waiting  the FSJ JVMs extensions and when the 
extensions has been implemented the engine may run, since I use only the Java 
standards.

It does not exist yet but I\'m working on it.


Other Software Required:
Any Java 2 compatible JVM (e.g. Blackdown JDK 1.3.0, Sun J2SE 1.4.0).
Any Java3D Implementation.
