Re: A few questions about running a MUD?
Zeno: thanks for the links! I've read them both before quite a few times actually, they are very informative.
Zenn: thanks for the advice, I'll use the VM instead of Cygwin. It'll give me a better chance to learn Unix operating systems anyways... we use these quite a bit at my university.
Delerak: you're exactly right, I'm planning to approach this project as a passtime more than anything else. Like I said, I don't expect to have a ton of players... probably the only people who will be on it are myself and a handful of people I know personally that I want to show it to. I understand that writing/modifying a code base is an enormous task but believe me, I'll enjoy every minute of it! I love tedious problem-solving tasks, otherwise I wouldn't be in computer science!
If anyone else is able to answer some of my more specific questions, I would appreciate it very much!
