of the real world and ROApps with ocial information can be certified to
be real.
With this approach, the CC applications would become smaller and more
restricted to their rules. The LC game could be composed of a subway, a
bus, and a game server. Another aspect is appealing: the ROs could access
third-party sources to inquire about the ocial schedules, automatically

ROApp Classification
Running LC on a PC is the entry to your own ROApp. The development
steps in the last section should help you to break out of the game scenario
into the real world. At this point, you are the ROApp master defining
the rules in your world. You can place information for your ROApp at
www.roaf.de to invite people to populate the scenario on your host ma-
