What you guys think about VRML MUD these days ? VRML2.0 is quite usable
already and may be fun to hack with. Besides, 3D VRML window along with all
traditional text stuff would look cool, I think. VRML is still kinda slow,
have to admit. But its getting faster and for now 3D window could be not
THAT big.
