Griatch 251f94aa7a Evennia now runs on its own Twisted webserver (no need for testserver or Apache if you don't want to). Evennia now also has an ajax long-polling web client running from Twisted. The web client requires no extra dependencies beyond jQuery which is included. The src/server structure has been r
cleaned up and rewritten to make it easier to add new protocols in the future - all new protocols need to inherit from server.session.Session, whi
ch implements a set of hooks that Evennia uses to communicate. The current web client protocol is functional but does not implement any of rcaskey
's suggestions as of yet - it uses a separate data object passed through msg() to communicate between the server and the various protocols. Also the client itself could probably need cleanup and 'prettification'. The fact that the system runs a hybrid of Django and Twisted, getting the best of both worlds should allow for many possibilities in the future. /Griatch
