in reply to Perl and The Lacuna Expanse

I'm not aware of any involvement the OP has in the project, but I worked on multiple parts of the Lacuna Expanse code and gave the talk on it at YAPC::NA 2012.

The backend code is all written in Perl, using modern techniques and modules. It communicates with the clients using JSON-RPC 2.0. The API is open, allowing users to develop their own tools aside from the standard clients.

All of the components are open source and available on github:

• Backend server code
• Web client
• iPhone Client
• Game missions

All of the game art is also available for use with custom clients.

The community has also created a set of CPAN modules for interacting with the game through perl: Games::Lacuna::Client
