Here is the complete source code to WinBolo client & server, LinBolo client & server, Tracker, Log viewer, WBN game ranking website, JBolo alpha/prototype, WOME (CGI based map editor) and sample brains created.
All source files code copyright 1998-2008 John Morrison and released under the GNU GPL Version 2 except where noted. All graphic and sound files are copyright 1993 Stuart Cheshire.
Source code for WinBolo was taken from the 1.15 release possibly with additional fixes.
I had always stated my main reason for not open sourcing WinBolo is that I still had things I wanted to work on. I said that I would consider releasing it when I wasn't interested in working on it any more. I've never lost interest in working on WinBolo, however as life goes on I have come to accept the fact I will never have enough time to work on the things I wanted to. Rather then let the community die due to inaction from me I have decided to release the source to WinBolo and all WinBolo related things.
I started this project 10 years ago. The first WinBolo release was 9 years ago. This was my second "real" sized project in C. (WBN was my first PHP application as well) - The code is fairly easy to follow and commented. Hopefully this allows others to pick up the project and continue with it, or use it as a learning tool.
I have started a wiki at http://www.winbolo.org/ with more information on the design, network protocol and file formats. A list of project ideas are also listed there.
