Version 1.0 of the Croquet software development kit has been released. "The kit provides developers with a flexible tool to create virtual spaces with built-in networked telephony and a 'late-binding object-oriented' programming language that allows multiple users to jointly create, animate or modify 3-D objects and dynamic simulations. Developers can also import and share resources, such as 2-D web applications or multimedia content, from their own systems. Working together across multiple locations, they can change simulations while they are running and work together to create new applications -- all in real time." The software can be downloaded from the Croquet Consortium site.
