This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

My project\'s purpose is to develop a new, custom multiplayer gaming engine, 
similar in all respects to a \"MUD\".



Current design goals:



* A concise, module-based design. A core module will handle message queues and 
registration and handling of modules.



* Modules will be (mostly) self-contained systems, able to be inserted or 
removed from the core in order to provide functionality to the engine\'s key 
systems.



* Create tools to aid developers in creating modules for the core engine.



* Create a set of example modules to demontrate their use.

  Proposed modules:

    - Networking. This module will handle all incoming and outgoing data 
connections to/from the server.

    - User accounting. This module will be responsible for tracking user access 
to the server for the purposes of billing, character tracking, etc.

    - World mechanics. This module will handle all user interaction with the 
virtual enviornment. This is where all the real action takes place, handling 
combat, world construction, etc.

    - Whatever else we come up with as we work out the design.





It does not exist yet but I\'m working on it.
