I guess that's another question; anyone know of any free, non
commercial graphical muds? I haven't really searched, but I don't know of
any off hand. Is there a good reason why? Lower quality, open source
graphic engines are fairly easy to find.. A freshamn college class in C
should give you enough information to make at least a wizardry-like
interface (er, wizardry 1-5, at least). Networking is a pain in the ass
to figure out the first time, but then it's nearly rote.
Maybe I'm just waaaaay outside of the loop.
