I wish I had been aware of this. I've toyed around with making a roguelike a few times and things like this spark my creativity. :P

I see at least two people have logged in, although you were both using telnet clients that I had not tried. Was it working for you?

donky, I checked it out and it was pretty cool, but very slow. It didn't seem like a problem with the connection though (at least according to a trace)...any speed/lag problems on your end?
edit: thanks Davion.
IF and muds share many things, it'd be interesting to see them mix more.
double edit: I almost forgot, I once started a forum/wiki about IF, RLs and muds written in Python...all three genres are different in some important ways, but for some reason I feel like they also share some common elements (maybe just because I like them all...?)

Thanks. My link is going extremely slow at the moment. It is most likely one of my female flatmates engaging in not too technologically competent brute-force bit torrenting.

I was just thinking today about having output based testing for my MUD codebase, like Inform 7 does.

The use of imagination to visualise gameplay, because of the abstract nature of text? Now I do not play roguelikes, but this seems to be a huge hole when I have tried graphical roguelikes in the past.
