Description: Veripeditus - The Free AR Game Framework for Everyone
        =====================================================
        
        What is Veripeditus?
        --------------------
        
        Veripeditus (from Latin „veritas“ → „truth“ and „pedis“ → „foot“) is a
        client/server augmented reality gaming engine and framework. It allows
        writing game „cartridges“ for the server, which it can then run. Players
        access the game while being outside with a mobile device.
        
        Development
        -----------
        
        The server component, the framework and the games are developed in pure
        Python. There are a few design/development principles:
        
        -  Game cartridges must be easy to develop with basic Python skills
        -  The framework and engine must be dynamic enough to allow a large
           number of different game types to be developed
        -  The framework must not carry any code that is specific to only a
           single type of game
        -  Development is test-driven and test-first
        -  pylint is to be used and obeyed
        -  Code must at all times be compatible with Python versions in Debian
           stable and Debian unstable
        
        Features of the web frontend
        ----------------------------
        
        The web frontend was originally intended to provide a quick view into
        the game state on a Veripeditus server. It has, however, developed to
        become a full-featured client for playing.
        
        Depending on how cool HTML5 turns out to be, it might become the
        official client and thus the first real-world HTML5 location based
        real-time game.
        
        Browser compatibility
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        The Veripeditus web frontend is developed and tested exactly on Mozilla
        Firefox as there are no other free browsers that support HTML5 in a
        reasonable way and can be entrusted with privacy critical data like
        geolocation of a user.
        
        Mozilla Firefox is available in any serious Linux distribution, as well
        as for Android from the free `F-Droid <https://f-droid.org>`__ app
        store. Rumour has it that there is also a version for iOS.
        
        Testing system
        --------------
        
        A testing system is available at http://nightly.veripeditus.org/ . This
        machine runs the current development version of Veripeditus and is
        auto-deployed from Git.
        
        It is unstable and might be broken. It will also lose data regularly.
