Heh, this thread is kinda old; I'm surprised to see another response.

I have actually considered using the dnd stuff, at least for inspiration, as it's even got a crafting system. Unfortunately, iirc, it's got a lot of grid based stuff: we'd be looking at ascii grids at the least and I'm blind rl so I can't even develop that, let alone use it. That said, it's been a very very long time since I've looked at it.

What I kind of want to do, actually, is write a codebase from scratch with no intent of opening. I'm giong to college for a computer science degree, and it's good practice: you touch on every part of c++, and maybe someday I can open. The long and short of it is that when looking at starting a mud I have more interest in how the codebase works, so that's what I'll probably do if anything. And then I can eventually publish it, maybe.

Finally, for the moment, this project is on the back burner; I'm about to go off to college (I already was, but I'm switching and will be in a dorm).
