Wanted: Any Terrarium files

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a copy of Terrarium, both the client and server. If anyone has copies please let me know as I'm looking to setup a resource site on the net including a new server.

Please do not reply to this thread saying "I think I know a guy who knew a guy who was doing something somewhere" type thing. There are plenty of threads here with that already here. I'm looking to get action and results. Just send me the files or post a link here where you have them available. My email address is emailme@bilsimser.com and you can send them privately to me there.

In addition, I'm looking to kickstart this tool by a) setting up a full-time working server b) rebuilding the application in .NET 2.0/3.5 c) setting up a site for learning how to program against it d) enhance the original codebase with features from the community. If source is avaialble that would be great, otherwise we can just build a new one from scratch or using Reflector.

Thanks!

Thank you Bil, for your great work on making Terrarium available again!

Microsoft MVP, Bil Simser, who has a great post about this on his Fear and Lothing blog,with lots of details about the game history, what’s changed, how to set up a client or server version. Readabout it here http://weblogs.asp.net/bsimser/archive/2008/07/16/reintroducing-terrarium-now-with-2-0-goodness.aspx.

The Windows SDK team has released of the source code for .NET Terrarium 2.0 on http://www.codeplex.com/terrarium2. The goal of this project is to provide a fun way for customers to learn the latest .NET Framework technologies. If you haven’t experienced the addiction of Terrarium, this game was created by the .NET Framework team to test early versions of the .NET Framework. The game was evolved by members of the Windows SDK team in the .NET Framework 2.0 timeframe, but has been untouched for the last 2+ years. This game has something of a cult following.

Terrarium was a .NET 1.x game/learning tool that was aimed at getting people interested in .NET and building cool stuff, and was widely distributed and conferences and chats. In Terrarium, you can create herbivores, carnivores, or plants and then introduce them into a peer-to-peer, networked ecosystem where they complete for survival. Terrarium demonstrates some of the features of the .NET Framework, including Windows Forms integration with DirectX®; XML Web services; support for peer-to-peer networking; support for multiple programming languages; the capability to update smart client, or Windows-based, applications via a remote Web server; and the evidence-based and code access security infrastructure.
