Julian Lombardi showed us the first application build of Open Croquet - Cobalt on the first day of the "Harnessing Virtual Worlds for Arts and Humanities Scholarship Summit" at Menlo Park, CA. This is a really exciting milestone for the Croquet consortium in the sense that developers across the globe can now systematically build out virtual worlds using given Croquet functions. I will not spoil the launch of the application and leave the excitement till next week. Get ready to download it at opencroquet.org
