OpenCatan is a project to build Yet Another Catan codebase.

I'm mostly using this as an excuse to hone my Ruby skills, and the hope is to be able to get this working in the browser itself.

Yes, that means without using Flash or Java Applets as the main medium of display.

Whee.

Design Goals

Significant Codebases, in order of priority
