PyORPG For Linux

PyORPG is an open source, cross-platform and completely free graphical client for the ORPG engine, based on Mirage Source and written entirely in the Python programming language for GNU/Linux and UNIX-like operating systems.

While the PyORPG is in heavy development, it will allow you to easily and quickly create your own ORPG (online role-playing-game) adventure. All the configuration files are stored in plain text files or simple images, which means that you will be able to easily modify the design of your game.

While PyORPG does not yet have an official release, you can grab the latest source code from its GitHub page. An archive of this code is also distributed for free right here on Softpedia, just click the download button above and save the archive on your Home directory.

Unpack the archive, make sure that all of its runtime dependencies are installed (see the next section for details), open a Terminal app, go to the location where you’ve extracted the archive file (e.g. cd /home/softpedia/pyorpg-client-master) and run the ‘sh launcher.sh’ command to start the software.

We’ve took a quick look under the hood of the PyORPG project, and we have noticed that the Python, PyGame, Twisted, and PGU (Python Game Utilities) technologies have been used to create this software.

Being written in Python/PyGame, PyORPG is a cross-platform application that can run on any GNU/Linux distribution, as well as on any other POSIX operating system where the aforementioned technologies are available, including Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.

Please note that while the PyORPG's source is distributed under the MIT license, the tools and libraries used have individual licenses that can be found in the COPYING file inside the source package.
