OpenPlay is the name of an open source cross-platform networking library created by Apple Computer. OpenPlay compiles and runs on the Mac OS, Mac OS X, Windows and Linux operating systems. OpenPlay is a high-level networking solution for game applications. It is known for its abstraction of game and player on top of an automatically managed networking core.
As of version 2.0, it includes the NetSprockets API from Mac OS 9. NetSprockets was a subset of Apple's now obsolete Game Sprockets.
Famous quotes containing the words open and/or play:
“I would not unduly praise the virtue of restraint. It is often merely temperamental. But it is not always a sign of coldness. It may be pride. There can be nothing more humiliating than to see the shaft of one’s emotion miss the mark of either laughter or tears. Nothing more humiliating! And this for the reason that should the mark be missed, should the open display of emotion fail to move, then it must perish unavoidably in disgust or contempt.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“But popular rage,
Hysterica passio dragged this quarry down.
None shared our guilt; nor did we play a part
Upon a painted stage when we devoured his heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
