This is a bundle of django applications, using zodb for data persistence.

It serves as a support for "alternate reality games", thanks to all the communication channels and gameplays that it offers:

• ingame user accounts, with permissions management
• chatroom, text messaging, webradio, web encyclopedia
• rich text including sounds, images and videos
• ownership of money, and 2D/3D artefacts
• special abilities (spying, mercenaries, data analysis...)
• internal CMS system, allowing to create multimedia content, NPCs, radio spots (with Acapela text-to-speech)
• bots with artificial intelligence (AIML)
• special abilities for game masters and game observers (impersonation of users, ingame hints, full control of game data)
• internationalized (English and French only, at the moment)

It also contains a Django-CMS application, used to present games created with this engine.

See the "doc/" folder for more information on licenses, dev setup, etc.
