# Atrinik server

This repository is the fresh, clean-room implementation of the authoritative
Atrinik game server in Go.
This repository contains the authoritative Go server for Atrinik's agentic
next-generation reimplementation.

## Development model

The replacement server is fresh, clean-room MIT-licensed Go code developed
primarily through Codex workflows under maintainer direction, review,
provenance controls, tests, and repository validation. It reimplements and
improves Classic behavior and project direction; it is not a mechanical C or
Python translation or a source port.

Direct human-written code contributions are welcome. “Agentic” describes the
project's primary current software-development workflow, not a requirement that
every line, commit, or contributor use an agent. See the
[replacement roadmap](https://github.com/atrinik/atrinik/issues/168) and the
[canonical project authorship statement](https://github.com/atrinik/.github/blob/main/profile/README.md#the-project).

Atrinik's art, maps, quests, lore, audio, and other game content remain
external, human-created work. They retain their exact authors, upstream credit,
licenses, and notices in their source repositories and are not covered by this
server's MIT license.

New source code in this repository is licensed under the MIT License. The
classic GPL server is maintained in the
[`server/` module of `atrinik/classic`](https://github.com/atrinik/classic/tree/main/server).
Do not copy, translate, or adapt its source code.

The implementation roadmap is tracked by
[`atrinik/atrinik#168`](https://github.com/atrinik/atrinik/issues/168).
