There's JCL's thing, of course. :) Todd McKimmey aka Rufus of LegendMUD has been working on a mud where you actually run part of a space empire (rooms become planets, etc). I am not sure whether he's using completely from-scratch code or whether he's using Legend's code as a base at this point. Last I heard, planets had populations with varying moods based on reousrces, taxes, treatment, etc, and you as an invisible controller walked around the galaxy... -Raph _______________________________________________ MUD-Dev maillist - MUD-Dev#kanga,nu <A HREF="http://www.kanga.nu/lists/listinfo/mud-dev">http://www.kanga.nu/lists/listinfo/mud-dev</A> </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00836.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Properties of computer languages</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00838.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] i got's a question for yall on the best way to do something..</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00841.html">[MUD-Dev] Game Design [Simulation]</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00834.html">[MUD-Dev] i got's a question for yall on the best way to do something..</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00837"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00837"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>Re: [MUD-Dev] i got's a question for yall on the best way to dosomething..</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00855" HREF="msg00855.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] i got's a question for yall on the best way to dosomething..</A></strong>, Mik Clarke <a href="mailto:mikclrk#ibm,net">mikclrk#ibm,net</a>, Fri 18 Jun 1999, 20:42 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00860" HREF="msg00860.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] i got's a question for yall on the best way to dosomething..</A></strong>, Jp Calderone <a href="mailto:exarkun#flashmail,com">exarkun#flashmail,com</a>, Sat 19 Jun 1999, 03:23 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00844" HREF="msg00844.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] i got's a question for yall on the best way to dosomething..</A></strong>, PartyG2816 <a href="mailto:PartyG2816#aol,com">PartyG2816#aol,com</a>, Thu 17 Jun 1999, 23:36 GMT </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00841" HREF="msg00841.html">[MUD-Dev] Game Design [Simulation]</A></strong>, Justin Lockshaw <a href="mailto:JustinL#HQ,Autoweb.com">JustinL#HQ,Autoweb.com</a>, Thu 17 Jun 1999, 21:48 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00837" HREF="msg00837.html">RE: [MUD-Dev] Different approaches?</A></strong>, Koster, Raph <a href="mailto:rkoster#origin,ea.com">rkoster#origin,ea.com</a>, Thu 17 Jun 1999, 18:31 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00834" HREF="msg00834.html">[MUD-Dev] i got's a question for yall on the best way to do something..</A></strong>, PartyG2816 <a href="mailto:PartyG2816#aol,com">PartyG2816#aol,com</a>, Thu 17 Jun 1999, 15:38 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00838" HREF="msg00838.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] i got's a question for yall on the best way to do something..</A></strong>, Jim Clark <a href="mailto:somewhere#sprint,ca">somewhere#sprint,ca</a>, Thu 17 Jun 1999, 21:48 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00840" HREF="msg00840.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] i got's a question for yall on the best way to do something..</A></strong>, Marc Hernandez <a href="mailto:marc#ias,jb.com">marc#ias,jb.com</a>, Thu 17 Jun 1999, 21:48 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00827" HREF="msg00827.html">[MUD-Dev] 3D Anarchy</A></strong>, Adam Wiggins <a href="mailto:adam#angel,com">adam#angel,com</a>, Thu 17 Jun 1999, 15:37 GMT </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
