What is it?
Ad Infinitum, or ADI, loosely stands for Aglet Dungeon Interactive
Network Fiction. It is a network-based, massively-multiplayer
role playing game written in Java and completely cross-platform.
ADI is based on mobile agent technology (specifically, Aglets),
XML and servlets, and aims to be fully distributed and extensible.
Goals
Customization
ADI's main goal is to create a gaming system that can be fully
customized by its users. It is not based on any particular play
system or genre, although the sample world that will ship with
the initial release will most likely take place in a fantasy
setting. Customization takes place by editing a variety of XML
files.
Fully Distributed
As well, ADI hopes to explore the possibilities of cooperative
distributed systems. Systems running ADI can be linked together
to form a seamless realm through which players traverse. The
location of resources is completely transparent and cross-platform,
with location being resolved either internally (in the case of
Aglets through the use of proxies) or through fully qualified
URLs.
