Re: Reaching out beyond text MUDs

What about Flash? I'm hopeful a Flash client could be done, if not super-easily due to the fact that it's not the easiest thing to work with. The plus side is that it's light, essentially ubiquitous, and is really good at presenting text. For a long time I don't think its text rendering was fast enough to keep up with the speed of output that many text MUDs require but people who know more than me about its technical capabilities have opined that with Flash 8 it may be fast enough.

Anyone have a lot of experience with Flash?
