Sirikata
a BSD-licensed platform for games and virtual worlds
Sirikata
Sirikata: an open-source platform for scalable virtual worlds.
Any user can script objects in Emerson, a new language designed specifically for virtual worlds.
Sirikata is designed to scale naturally to very large worlds. Compared to other worlds (left), Sirikata's approach (middle-left) and aggregation (middle-right) are much closer to the complete scene (right).
You can upload your own meshes to
open3dhub.com
where they're optimized for streaming to clients and rendering.
Kataspace is a demo application that lets you join a Sirikata world directly in your browser.
What is Sirikata?
Sirikata is a BSD-licensed open source platform for virtual worlds. We aim to provide a set of open libraries and protocols anyone can use to deploy a virtual world.
Sirikata isn’t a single virtual world, it’s a platform for building virtual worlds. All the common, core components of virtual worlds are built-in — servers that simulate the world and distribute content, a graphical client, and scripting language support — allowing you to focus on creating the objects and behaviors unique to your world. These
videos
give a sense of what you can currently do in Sirikata worlds.
