The Nenya library
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The Nenya library provides various facilities for making networked multiplayer
|
|
games. Its various packages include:
|
|
|
|
* geom, util - basic tools for doing data structure manipulation and some
|
|
geometry math
|
|
* resource - tools for bundling, deploying and managing media (images,
|
|
sounds, etc.) with a game
|
|
* media - a framework for doing "active" rendering in Java
|
|
* media.image - tools for loading, caching, manipulating and displaying images
|
|
* media.sound - tools for loading, caching, and playing audio
|
|
* media.animation, media.sprite - works in concert with the active
|
|
rendering system and provides tools for defining and manipulating
|
|
sprites (graphical entities that follow paths) and animations
|
|
(graphical entities that affect the display in other ways)
|
|
* miso - a framework for defining and displaying isometrically rendered scenes
|
|
* cast - a framework for defining and using recolorable, composited
|
|
characters with different poses and actions
|
|
|
|
Documentation is somewhat sparse at the moment, but inspection of the code in
|
|
the tests/ directory shows examples of use of many features of the library.
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Building the library is very simple. First ensure that the necessary third
|
|
party jar files are available in the lib/ directory. See lib/README for a list
|
|
of the necessary third party jar files and how to get them.
|
|
|
|
The library is built using Ant, a modern build tool written in and for Java. If
|
|
you aren't already using Ant for other projects, it can be found here:
|
|
|
|
http://ant.apache.org/
|
|
|
|
Invoke ant with any of the following targets:
|
|
|
|
all: builds the distribution files and javadoc documentation
|
|
compile: builds only the class files (dist/classes)
|
|
javadoc: builds only the javadoc documentation (dist/docs)
|
|
dist: builds the distribution jar files (dist/*.jar)
|
|
|
|
Distribution
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The Nenya library is released under the LGPL. The most recent version of the
|
|
library is available here:
