Open Esport 2025 is an open source competitive FPS project developed with the Godot 4 engine. The goal is to provide a modular, extensible and easily deployable base to create modern esport experiences.
Objectives
- Offer a self-hosted and autonomous infrastructure
- Be independent of traditional publishers
- Be compatible with modern environments (Docker, Kubernetes, Azure, AWS)
- Remain lightweight and easy to host locally
Current Project Status
The project is currently in active development phase. The following features are already implemented:
- Dynamic and customizable menu system
- Advanced input management (mouse, keyboard, controller)
- Basic shooting system with different weapons
- Reload and zoom mechanics
- Visual effects for projectiles and trails

Minecraft Robot Plugin
GitHubEducational plugin for Minecraft Bukkit inspired by the LOGO language of the 1970s, designed for teaching programming to children through gaming.
Concept
The Minecraft Robot Plugin allows players to control a special robot block using programmable commands. Inspired by the famous LOGO language and its graphic turtle, this plugin transforms Minecraft into a fun and intuitive programming learning environment.
Main Features
- Each player receives a special robot block (magenta glazed terracotta) upon connection
- Movement commands: forward, backward, up, down
- Rotation system in 45° or 90° increments
- Trace mode to draw with colored wool
- Repeat commands to create complex sequences
- Custom function system with parameters
- Support for nested loops and function calls
- Function saving between sessions
Programming Examples
Draw a blue square:
/repete 4 (trace on bleu avance 5 tourne 90)Create a parameterizable function:
/fonction create carre(taille) repete 4 (avance taille tourne 90)/fonction read carre(10)Complex pattern with nested loops:
/repete 2 (repete 2 (avance 10 tourne 90))Educational Objectives
- Learning basic concepts: sequences, loops, functions
- Algorithmic thinking: decomposition of complex problems
- Interactive geometry: understanding angles and distances
- Creativity: artistic expression through programming
- Collaboration: sharing creations between players

RHM (Race Horse Maker)
History
In 1995, Master Fradet, then weapons master at the Cercle d'Escrime de Yerres frequented by Benoit Rimbert, invented his first fencing target: a wooden structure equipped with three buttons that lit up lamps, with a weapon fixed on a handmade arm composed only of a huge spring.
In 1997, having become a weapons master, Benoit Rimbert designed his first target in turn, but robotized. Monumental for the time, this invention took the form of a wooden cube 70 cm on a side, weighing more than 30 kilos. It integrated a computer equipped with a 486 SX 33 processor and used a modified cordless drill to rotate the foil. Its 300 MB hard drive alone occupied the space of a current mini-computer.
Version 2 of this target was born in 2017, the result of a new collaboration between Benoit Rimbert and Master Fradet.
Finally, in 2022, coming out of the Covid period, version 3 was created. This new generation integrates a Raspberry Pi 4, artificial intelligence to detect positions and movements, as well as an integrated touch graphic interface.
