Would be a cool start. It could then eventually have subroutiens added to it (since the net code is allready there) to show the map is ASCII (like adom etc)... and maby the server programmers will add more literature to the game (ie more detailed text output.. like embellish "x hit you" into something more interesting and variable, and maby put some things about the weather changing and the sun going up and down etc to keep the mood fantastical). I've been playing with a cfbot making it show stats etc... but I don't know curses and am not such a good programmer so it would never become the ANSI text client that is the holy grail of the CF entusiast/ command line junkie. If the server coders want me to make up some new literature ill be glad to (ie messages that appear on the screen when things happen). --- Bob Tanner < tanner at real-time.com > wrote: > A very long time ago, I started a text based > "client".
