# Opengate: a client and server remake of Jumpgate

> Opengate remakes NetDevil's online space game Jumpgate in C++ as a game client, a game server and a state server built on OGRE, CEGUI, Bullet and Boost asio, which log in through a metaserver whose requests the project documents. Its data recreates the Jumpgate sector map with jumpgate links and faction ships such as the Tauseti Lady Kickstart, and its design notes list item prices, scale ships from NetDevil's DirectX models and include an item data set that uses data extracted from NetDevil's JOSSH database.
