About the NGS project
|
Posted by iamsure on July 28, 2002

The Nova Gaming System (NGS) project began as a fork from the BlackNova Traders (BNT)
project. The BNT project is a web-based space-themed trading game.
Our goal is to provide a bug-free, non-exploitable game, now deeply evolved from the original BNT code. Moving forward,
we also intend to convert the core code to be a framework upon which other game styles can be built.
To accomplish
this goal, we will convert the game to a modular, event-driven system, with independent language and sql files. In addition,
each game will itself also be theme-able/skinnable.
Both BNT and NGS are copyrighted by each of the developers listed below, for each of their respective contributions, and
placed
under the trust of the lead developers (L. Patrick Smallwood and Ron Harwood respectively for NGS / BNT).
Please Note:
The original paragraph at this position in the TKI copyright file was removed by the SR Developers. It stated that users employing TKI code under the GPL were obliged to release and distribute all modified code. Under the terms of the GPL, there is no such requirement because of a loophole which pertains to non-binary type applications such as those written in PHP. We felt it was necessary to clarify that point and will replace this notice with another paragraph of the TKI developers' choosing should they so request it.
If you have any licensing concerns or questions, please feel free to contact L. Patrick Smallwood.
The developers for NGS are:
Meelis Saluvee
