Volity

Gamut (for developers)

Gamut is the Volity project's first graphical client application, written in Java and usable on any Java-friendly computer. Gamut went beta in 2006, but there's still much work to be done.

Gamut has a page on the Volity Wiki, and a discussion forum on the Volity Network.

Getting Gamut

The latest version of Gamut can always be obatined from its download page on volity.net. It's available in Mac, Windows, and plain Java jar varieties. Once you've got it, you can jump right into gaming with its on-line help pages, or read Zarf's Volity quickstart guide on the wiki.

Nightly Builds

Betatesters and other bleeding-edge types should check out our nightly build directory. "Nightly" is used loosely here; builds don't quite happen nightly, but they do happen more frequently than releases.

The most recent nightly build may always be found in the latest directory.

Source Code

Source code is available through our Subversion repository; the relevant module name is Javolin. (Javolin is an older name for Gamut, and the source control layout has not yet been brought up to date.)

You may also browse the SVN tree over the Web.

Build instructions are included with the source, including locations of the other libraries you'll need. For convenience, you may also download these libraries -- the ones required by the current source code -- from the library JAR directory.

Testbench

Volity Testbench is a cut-down version of Gamut that allows UI file developers to more easily test their SVG/ECMAScript software offline. Documentation is available on the Wiki.
