Hi alex, I think true Role Playing is quite different from text adventures. In it the focus is on people actually role playing and the parser does not have to be as smart as in IF in general. If there's even a human game master, that makes it all the less computer centric. In my original post I assumed you ment only text adventures played locally. I'm not aware of any MUDs being implemented on top of Tads or Inform. They are mostly single player, turn based systems. In my criticism of PHP I didnt mean you could not write mighty things with it. Wikipedia runs on PHP, I believe. What I ment was that the language is not very well thought out, as a whole. -- With kind regards Veli-Pekka Tätilä (vtatila@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) Accessibility, game music, synthesizers and programming: http://www.student.oulu.fi/~vtatila alex wrote: > Well check out > www.hogwartslive.com > all those rpgs and stuff are based off of php so... __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
