World Building
Rooms
- 500 points allow you to add a room to the game with 1 connection to a previously existing room someone else built
- 200 points allow you to add a room to the game with 1 connection to a previously exiting room you've built
- 10 points allow you to add a direction from a room (you've built) to another existing room (you've built)
Approaches
Modify Existing Systems
- Utilize MOO
- MOO is like MUD except users can add to the world in game-time. LambdaMOO is a recommended engine, WinMOO is the windows version, or there are linux packages available up through Gutsy for Ubuntu
- Utilize existing IRC servers and Clients
- Need to obtain or create an IRC bot that is able to fork multiple telnet connections
User Logs in to IRC -> User /msg Bot -> user issues command to join game -> Bot spawns a telnet connection to MOO server -> user logs in.
This could be done in a weekend.
