I might be interested in the client graphics control side of things;
I remember proposing some time ago on Usenet a kind of 'X server for muds'
with pluggable modules for doing things like displaying static pictures,
dialogues and suchlike. I didn't get very far with it (started fulltime
work and also started co-running a big free software project) but I'd be
willing to help out.

ApplePiMan#aol,com (ApplePiMan#aol,com) spake thusly:
&gt; At 10/22/98 2:43 AM Jon Leonard (jleonard#divcom,slimy.com) altered the 
&gt; fabric of reality by uttering:
&gt; 
&gt; &gt;Possible modules so far:
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;Bootstrap (module handler)  
&gt; &gt;Database storage/persistence (relational or Object Oriented)
&gt; &gt;Telnet server
&gt; &gt;Client/server messaging (for sophisticated clients than telnet)
&gt; &gt;Client graphics control
&gt; &gt;Magic system
&gt; &gt;Movement
&gt; &gt;Rooms &amp; objects manager
&gt; &gt;Coordinate based location
&gt; &gt;Spatial data structures
&gt; &gt;on-line building
&gt; &gt;Event manager
&gt; &gt;Command Parser
&gt; &gt;Command Executor
&gt; 
&gt; What about a Physics module? Some sort of Sound/Music Manager might also 
&gt; be worth consideration (at least to the point of making sure we have 
&gt; builtin 'hooks' for people wanting to supply their own Sound/Music 
&gt; module).
&gt; 
&gt; &lt;snip&gt;
&gt; 
&gt; &gt;Project home(s), project maintainer(s):
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;I'm volunteering to be project maintainer, keeping track of source code,
&gt; &gt;releases and so forth.  If someone else wants to, thats fine too.
&gt; 
&gt; I'll volunteer to assist you with any "grunt" work associated with that 
&gt; (or grunt work associated with anything else, for that matter =) ). I 
&gt; (personally) may be of some minor help in coding, but my coding skills 
&gt; are, generally speaking, too high-level for a project like this. I'm sure 
&gt; I'll have plenty of opinions to offer on design issues, though. &lt;g&gt;
&gt; 
&gt; -Rick.
