easy FPS engine for education?

Hello,

I was wondering if there are any easy FPS engines out there for doing
AI
programming. Ideally, it would be something with a network interface,
so that the language one programs in wouldn't matter. I don't need
anything fancy (just an open area, with some objects, and the ability
to
shoot at each other. ). I thought it would be a good way to get
students interested in programming and AI.

Since I work in Linux, I'd love to have something that would work in
both Windows and Linux.

any ideas would be great!


thanks,

Brian Blais

I would also be interested in any such primitive engines for use in the
basic education of AI. For me, it could be pretty much any genre although I
would prefer something along the lines of an RTS (even if it was just a flat
2D grid).
