Chapter 1. Overview

This part of the document contains technical information for creating entities and user data objects for the BigWorld Server. It is part of a larger set of documentation describing the whole BigWorld system.

The intended audience is technical-typically MMOG developers and designers.

For API-level information, please refer to the API reference documentation.

Note

Garbage collection is disabled in BigWorld's Python integration, because garbage collection is an expensive operation that can occur at any time, blocking the main thread in the server applications.

Note

For details on BigWorld terminology, see the document Glossary of Terms.
