These release notes describe system requirements and features for
Metacosm M1.1 release (Metacosm framework and ZHeroeZ game instance).

Metacosm is a framework for computer role playing games in Java. An example
called ZHeroeZ is also provided. Some of the project's objectives are object
oriented design, world persistency (all actions should have a long term impact

same world), a graphical editor, and choice in client user interface. All
creatures can be player or AI controlled by design.
