I would recommend developing in a Windows (5 environment, getting Visual Basic or whatever and programming it there, because your OS takes care of Sound/MIDI/ 3D acceleration, Networking (IPX or TCP/IP) etc. all built in to the OS... why bother reinventing the wheel?? by the time your game comes out Win95 will be on most computers. Also check the VRML Interactive HTML stuff that http://www.chaco.com /pueblo is working on.. that enhances MUDs and stuff with VR and music and images. IMHO. Andrew -- -- |Andrew R. D.
