While not use a terminal independent library (the many variations of
curses come to mind, don't know what's available for Java) for your
terminal handling and thus let the user use whatever he likes for a
terminal type?

You'd have to log the sound -- the interface problem is that sound
is not (easily) searchable/indexable/generically_processable.

Have a look at MUD++ and ColdX's object heirarchy.

As a general case: yes, tho its massively dependent on your game
design and what you are going to require programmatically of your
internal interfaces. In the more specific case its still worthwhile
as it near forces you to examine your basic object heirarchy and
their relationships.
