Primera: 3D Communication World
Written by on March 8th, 2007 in Ajax News.
Sebastian Garcia has spent a year on Primera and I think it shows.
Primera is a multiplayer environment where you control an avatar that
moves around an isometric-scrollable map and you are able to see what
other people are doing/saying, and it runs entirely on dhtml.
Primera has been developed from scratch. The server side engine is Perl and all other libraries
are pure javascript and html/dhtml including a javascript sprite library and an isometric sprite/map engine.
The windowing dhtml framework is called GFZ and the graphics are from various resources (e.g. map graphics are taken directly from Ultima 8 - Pagan, avatar sprites are from the Toolkit Zone, etc.)
