OpenMaple is a fast [MapleStory][ms] emulator aiming to bring openness back to 
a community near wrecked by solely proprietary innovations. We're not going to 
do it with [overbearing licenses][agpl] like previous emulators. We're building 
a new emulator from scratch leveraging modern technologies to bring 
[MapleStory][ms] emulation into the modern age. We're employing modern design 
decisions to increase maintainability, scalability, and customizability. Best 
of all, we're letting OpenMaple go free in every sense of the word. It's free 
from cost, free from restriction, and free from worry. OpenMaple just is.

### The Technologies ###

OpenMaple, like many existing [MapleStory][ms] emulators, is in Java, but now 
all of the code is being written using idioms introduced with [Java 7][java7] 
and will be updated where appropriate to utilize newer features as they arise. 
OpenMaple is built using [Apache's Maven][mvn] build system. It's fast, sleek, 
easy to use, and it handles all our dependencies elegantly. As for those 
dependencies, we're using [Netty][netty] and [Hibernate][hib] to ensure that 
the emulator is fast, efficient, and load-bearing. Additionally, we use 
Google's [Guava][guava] library to provide a set of common libraries to use 
throughout the emulator where needed. To manage and access game data, this 
emulator uses the [NX Format][nx] through [pkgnx][pkgnx] to provide a simple 
and fast data solution. We want our emulator to be able to get the most that it 
can out of the hardware, and we're sure that users want that too. We also use 
[SLF4J][slf4j] to support our logging to provide a flexible, easy-to-use 
logging system. OpenMaple aims to give choice back to the end-user.

### The Design ###

Unlike existing emulators, OpenMaple follows modern design idioms that have 
been tried and tested in production Java software. The entire system is based 
around an event model using [Guava's][guava] EventBus and custom packet 
serializers and deserializers. This makes it easier for the emulator to be 
ported to different versions of [MapleStory][ms] with minimal effort while 
maintaining the same basic framework. We use [Hibernate][hib] with plain-old 
Java objects to make working with a database simpler and more flexible. 
Currently, OpenMaple is being built for the official v.40 beta version. Once
that's more feature complete, we'll move on to emulating newer versions.

### Contributing ###
