Package: antbear - a Half-Life master server
System name: antbear
Type: 2

Description:
This project is going to be a masterserver for online games (Half-Life as the 
first supported game).  The server will be as powerful as the official ones in 
terms of processing the client requests and returning the proper information.  
In fact it will become even more powerful by extending the query protocol in 
order to support requests for player searching.  These are the two basic goals 
to achive. 
Also the server is going to be highly customizable to make it adaptable to the 
environment and machine it is running on. 

The next focus is set on the realization:  Technically the server will be, 
depending on how it is configured, either a master or a slave or both (!) in an 
distributed-server environment.  The programming language is Java and the APIs 
used should not be the latest to make the server run on smaller open-source 
VMs, too. 


First code fragments do already exist at this point of time but it is not yet 
usable.
