Jaslabs: High performance Software

High Performance Software

Build your own MMORPG

By Justin Silverton

Sun Microsystems recently announced a new open-source development platform for servers designed to help massive multiplayer online game developers bring their creations to market faster.

Project Darkstar, the Java-based software lets developers create a variety of games that can be accessed through a single-server framework. Sun has been a supporter of online and mobile gaming, chief gaming officer, Chris Melissinos said. And Project Darkstar will be an “important technology foundation in the exploding multiplayer online game marketplace.”

Features

  • Significantly lessens the time, effort, monetary investment and risk involved in developing online games.
  • Provides a simple programming model that hides the complexities of multithreading and server replication.
  • Enables games to scale to handle large numbers of clients while providing low-latency response times, even for the write-heavy workloads of MMOGs.
  • “Shardless” MMOGs are now a reality by removing the need to preallocate servers with fixed assignments to specific game regions.
  • Automatically handles persistence of game state and recovery of game state in the event of server failure.
  • Presents a common, underlying platform that can be reused from one game to another.
  • Provides plug-in APIs to allow the system to be extended with 3rd-party components.
  • Platform and game agnostic architecture allows you develop online games in any genre that target a wide variety of devices.
