Package: antbear - a Half-Life masterserver
System name: antbear
Type: 2

Description:
This project is going to be a masterserver for online games (Half-Life as the 
first supported game) released under the GPL.  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.  All the APIs used will be ones already 
implemented by open source VMs (especially Kaffe) to make the server 
independent from proprietary ones. Third party libraries are not planned to be 
used unless it becomes necessarry and they are also open-source and free.

First code fragments do already exist at this point of time but it is not yet 
usable.  The existing classes are basically a structure draft and will most 
probable be changed in the near future.
