General Questions

What is an MMORPG?

Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. Everquest and World of Warcraft are two popular ones.

What does MV3D do exactly?

As it is today, it provides the groundwork for people to build online worlds. It handles networking, persistence, physics, the client (for 3d graphics, 2d ui, and sound), and asset management amongst other things. It is not a game in itself, but a platform to build games or other simulations on.

I've got a great MMORPG idea, but I've never programmed before. Is MV3D for me?

Probably not, unless you want to learn to program in Python.

Can MV3D handle a space based game?

No problem!

Can MV3D handle a large game world?

Also no problem!

Is MV3D a Python Library?

Not really. It could possibly be used as such, but in general, it is a client and server application.

Who wrote MV3D

MV3D is open source, and as such, there have been contributors over the years. The project is run by its original author: Mike Handverger.
