I've been playing Hedgewars for a few weeks now, and I wanted to know more about the protocol used by the servers. After a few wireshark scans I finally decided to look at the source code and I found the file 'netnewclient.cpp'. Still out of curiosity I netcat'ed to the masterserver and decided to make a little interface that would reproduce a regular client's behaviour in game.

This python shell (put a lot of double quotes around 'shell') connects and auth to the masterserver and allows you to chat with other players online (you can also get an incomplete list of the created rooms).

This script is not meant to be used at all (except if you want an easy way to chat with hw players on the main server), I only did it out of curiosity for the protocol used in hw, and also because I like to share my work You can quit the shell by typing '/quit', and get a list (incomplete) of rooms with '/rooms'. Any other input will be sent to the server as a chat string.

If you have questions about the code, I'll answer them
Thank you.

Do you guyz know of any good small games like hedgewars... you know something to play with friends not to hard to understand and fun to play....

BTW I know my english Isnt very good :P

I'm somewhat sorta fascinated how some different open source projects are able to put together highly usable programs such as this one. And I'm curious about what sorts of people they attract and I wanted to know what sorts of traffic this website sees in analytics of its users in like what operating system and browsers they use. I'm using Ubuntu and Firefox myself. A simple pie chart would suffice. Thanks!

The day has arrived.

Voting for the best open source game on the web has begun. We've broken the list down into 10 genres. Vote on the art, innovation, storyline, and overall gaming experience to decide what games from the 10 genres will go head to head in the final round.

I'll post some results every day so you can see how your game, and gaming community, stacks up against the rest.

*dons battle cap*

I'll be sad if the game with the most epic trailer ever conceived doesn't turn out a fever-pitched, well-timed response.

Get to it!

I've been trying to make a Hedgewars video by recording. I can't find a good recording program for it though . So I was wondering which program everyone else uses.
