Experimental RTS/Space sim Collaborative Coding Project.
The goal is to design a game with structure/settings/balance of Starcraft and scale of Eve Online(i.e. huge space battles, space empires,etc).
Though this wouldn't stop anyone from contributing code/feedback/criticism, i'll be coordinating the project.
All code/ideas should be posted in this and subsequent threads which i'll start as needed.
step #1: We will collaboratively create a name for our project.
Each suggestion must explain why this name fits the project and why its better then any other generic name.

>These are called Emulators.
No, they're not. An emulator is a virtual machine that replicates or attempts to replicate the behavior or real hardware. A virtual machine, such as the JVM, doesn't replicate any real hardware.

>Its in the definition. I don't see how you can interpret it otherwise:
>A program which runs scripts and temporary compiles them into memory
Right. If your definition of "compiler" is "a program that generates executables", then "to compile" must be "to generate executables". Therefore, a JIT compiler , by your definition, "generates in-memory executables", as opposed to a mere compiler, which writes them to a medium.
