hay all,

I have this idea of writing a Engine for PBeM games, I don't want to write
a game but I want to write the program that alows other (more creative)
people to make a PBeM game that uses this program as it's basis.
I don't have enough experience with either PBeM or PBM to just go and
write it. So I want to invite any PBeM / PBM Player or GameMaster to tell
me what they would like to see as features in my program and what the
userinterface should be like.
I have this idea of writing a engine that is so adaptable that you wont
even know which program's use it and which don't. I want to put all the
power at the level of the person that creates the game and wants to make
it run without having to worry about setting random seeds, memory
pointers, 4 dimensional arrays and that kind of stuff. But that means that
I have to know early-on what is wanted and what is not.

If there is already somebody out there doing what I want to start doing
and wants to join forces, he or she could drop me an E-mail, with 2 it's
always 3 times easyer then just doing it alone :) .

I'm not a C++ wizard, im just a 17 year old guy who has learned himself
C++ in his speartime over the past couple of months. English is not my
native language so please don't flame me too hard for my spelling... it's
not going to help much anyway, beleave me :)

Because this program will be made by all of you who will contribute there
thoughts about this subject to me personaly or on Usenet this program will
destributed as FreeWare...

bye and thanx for your time,

Also i knew that something was ending, which also meant that something was beginning. But i couldn't say what. I didn't know whether, a hundred years from now, this would be called the dark century or the century of light.
