Our Kickstarter was funded! Continue supporting the Virtual Worlds Museum™ through our Sponsor Page.
The Croquet Project is a software project that was intended to promote the continued development of the Croquet open-source software development kit to create and deliver collaborative multi-user online applications. Croquet is implemented in Squeak Smalltalk. Croquet supports communication, collaboration, resource sharing, and synchronous computation among multiple users.
The Croquet Project emphasized open, programmable virtual spaces that could run entirely in the browser. Its cultural impact lies in promoting the idea of the metaverse as a protocol, not a platform. It influenced developers working on interoperable, web‑native virtual worlds. The project helped seed the modern “open metaverse” movement.
