Welcome to the Sirikata Wiki
What is Sirikata?
- Sirikata is an BSD licensed open source platform for games and virtual worlds. We aim to provide a set of libraries and protocols which can be used to deploy a virtual world, as well as fully featured sample implementations of services for hosting and deploying these worlds.
- We are aiming for an alpha release in Q2 2009 and this video teaser should give you some sense of what to expect.
- Check out our Vimeo Channel for videos of and about Sirikata. We'll post demos and presentations about the system and applications there.
Community
Join our community mailing list or read our open archives. Some community members, especially developers, hang out on IRC.
Platform Developers
Sirikata is a platform for building virtual world applications such as games, meeting spaces, and social worlds. Platform developers work on Sirikata itself, creating the infrastructure and plugins used by applications to run the world. Applications developers then glue the necessary components together and can focus on any additional policies and scripting needed to run their world.
Sirikata is a large, complicated project with many components. Check out the Platform Developers starting page to find out how to get and build the code, learn about Sirikata's architecture, and get involved in it's development.
To get started quickly, Check out and build the code.
Artists
By artist we refer to everyone who wants to handle content in Sirikata
