One thing to watch for here is the game function exposed to Javascript as clock.addSeconds . At the moment, the HUD clock advances by minutes, hours or days during particular events. Most importantly: launching adds ten minutes, buying equipment adds at least five minutes per item, up to days for t...

So we are hosting this CTF event at BSidesDC in October and our format is going to be 1 vs. 10 in rounds of 4 hours, 3 rounds per day over 3 days. The first 2 days will be elimination rounds. The final day is the championship round. Everything will be done over WiFi on a flat network. There is a HID...

cim: thanks for the update Today we reviewed the debug code, understanding why plists were used, and seeing why comments about "total" rewrite have been tossed around. Currently it appears that the game in single player mode runs its own clock and that UNIVERSE class is basically what the ...

Oolite has already networking capability but at a very basic level at the moment and not exactly multiplayer-oriented. It can use TCP/IP to exchange information with an external application (which could be running either on the same machine or anywhere on the internet), currently used for debugging...

Awesome guys thanks for the info.

I am on the road right now, but will reply in more detail soon with what our goals are and the answers to your questions.

Cheers!

I am looking into trying to figure out what the level of effort would be to add networking and multiplayer capability to the game. I have a development team and intern resources that are looking to utilize oolite for an upcoming capture the flag event in October 2015. Taking a quick look at the game...

Greetings!!! I am a information security researcher with a knack for doing crazy things in my lab with my interns. I am looking at oolite to see if it can help jump start our next version of our SCADA CTF.
