Yes, that's about how lambdamoo does it except object doesn't derive from container. > Then you can add another unheard of Entity > called Exit.

Here is a simple xml dumped-out object from perlmoo. <OBJECT ID="OBJ_10"> <FIELD NAME="bounce"> $this=shift; "The ".$this->name." bounces."; </FIELD> <FIELD NAME="name">ball</FIELD> <FIELD NAME="owner" OBJREF="OBJ_1"/> </OBJECT> I find that xml has given me a good combination of readability and flexability as I've worked on perlmoo and had to change the database format a couple of times and had to examine and modify the database directly many times. I will probably support a less verbose format eventually though. -- see shy jo _______________________________________________ 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--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00842" HREF="msg00842.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] i got's a question for yall on the best way to dosomething..</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> PartyG2816#aol,com</LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00846.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Properties of computer languages</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00848.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Properties of computer languages</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00842.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] i got's a question for yall on the best way to dosomething..</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00855.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] i got's a question for yall on the best way to dosomething..</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00847"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00847"><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] Re: MUD-Dev digest, Vol 1 #105 - 12 msgs</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00852" HREF="msg00852.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: MUD-Dev digest, Vol 1 #105 - 12 msgs</A></strong>, Hans-Henrik Staerfeldt <a href="mailto:hhs#cbs,dtu.dk">hhs#cbs,dtu.dk</a>, Fri 18 Jun 1999, 14:19 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00853" HREF="msg00853.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: MUD-Dev digest, Vol 1 #105 - 12 msgs</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Fri 18 Jun 1999, 14:20 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00858" HREF="msg00858.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: MUD-Dev digest, Vol 1 #105 - 12 msgs</A></strong>, Mik Clarke <a href="mailto:mikclrk#ibm,net">mikclrk#ibm,net</a>, Sat 19 Jun 1999, 01:29 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00842" HREF="msg00842.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, 22:44 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00847" HREF="msg00847.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] i got's a question for yall on the best way to do something..</A></strong>, Joey Hess <a href="mailto:joey#kitenet,net">joey#kitenet,net</a>, Fri 18 Jun 1999, 00:35 GMT </LI> <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> </UL> <UL> <li><Possible follow-up(s)><br> <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 </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>
