This is a free non-commercial implementation of the game "Rai-Net Access Battlers" which was originally released by the Japanese company '5pb.'. AccessBattle is a private fan project and not affiliated with '5pb.' in any way.
- Development discontinued (perhaps I will add IPv6 support in March 2019)
I started this project in Christmas 2016 after finishing the Steins;Gate visual novel. It took me nearly two years to bring this to version 1.0. The basics are working but the functionality lacks polish. This project was used by me as a playground to try new stuff like client-server encryption, database access and AI. I don't have the motivation to continue this project anymore and want to move on. Feel free to fork this repository and improve it as you like. I hope my source code makes enough sense to other people.

Known Issues:
- Same user can login multiple times. Not sure if bug or feature.
- Game might screw up if one client disconnects
- Exit Game does not work in single player
- Even though the UI uses upper case letters only, login still differentiates between upper and lower case.

TODO
- IPv6 support
- Reconnects
- Prevent Login Spamming and Account Hacking
- Matchmaking for random matches
- Replace font to support lower case and at least Hiragana and Katakana.
The main game engine is inside a separate DLL so that people can program their own user interface for it. The DLL should be compatible with Mono and also run on Linux.
The main user interface is implemented with WPF using .NET 4.5. You need at least Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP1 or newer to use it. I tested it on Windows 7.
Here is an example of a console based UI:
