Vopisk is on a distinguished road
I'm a novice myself, so I can't say for sure whether or not it is possible to take an existing mud and slap some graphics on top of it, however, I would recommend looking for a few coordinate-based systems that are out there since the standard DIKU-style room object probably wouldn't scale well to accomodate graphics. Another thing to consider is whether or not you want to get to know and understand everything about how a pre-made codebase works since I imagine everything besides chat would have to be modified and it may be easier and in terms of development overall quicker to write everything yourself since you know what you need and where you need it, rather than finding every place in all of the source files that the one behaviour you're trying to modify is stashed away. Anyway, I think that made at least a little sense, so before I start tripping on my own tongue, I'll leave you with those comments to do what you will with, best of luck!
