ANSI/ASCII graphics you mean?

Old games with monsters:

Quest (www.dosgames.com) - one or two steps up from "ASCII"

ZZT - "ASCII" style

Nethack - both versions

Castle of the Winds - one of my favorites - primitive graphics.

Perhaps these could be of use in gleaming ideas for the current project?

Ahh, that makes me wonder if I could write bots to allow players to check on various aspects of the world...

I dunno... depends on how the database is stored and if you could even access it to begin with...

Schilcote, I doubt that I am going to ever let you connect to any database on my server. Get your own ${ouch} a month dedicated server and web hosting/ development company with half a dozen paranoid clients and I am sure you'll have an inkling why I am not opening up my doors and databases to your experimentation.

That's alright, I can't blame you. I wouldn't let me anywhere near my database either. You should've seen the first version of Schilbot :p.

As a web developer and a student of web page design, I have to chuckle at the above remarks...
