Codeswarm: L2J Project complete history

Continuing my visual representation initiative and due to popular request I dug further in the L2J history and merged all of our version control logs for both core and datapack in a single animation. Now you can see all of our work since 2004 when L2chef, -our project founder- did the first commit to the sourceforge CVS. Over time, many enthusiasts became skilled developers and spent thousands of hours on making of L2J a great software piece surrounded by a demanding community. The names of those developers appear whenever they’ve made changes to the source code. The stars/highlights represent commits made to the CVS/Subversion repository. The histogram on the bottom left displays activity. Look out for the date displayed in the right hand corner. Big explosions usually match a new Chronicle/Throne release, a massive code cleanup or some important feature addition. Code Swarm is an experiment for organic software visualization, you can find more information here: vis.cs.ucdavis.edu and download its source code to create your own swarm from Google Code: code.google.com L2J is an Open Source alternative Lineage 2 Game Server written in Java. The L2J Datapack project is a companion software and data collection for L2J. For more information about us visit www.l2jserver.com
