Yeesh! Doesn't *anyone* read the archives first anymore? OK, I think the
old champion of the world generator had better step in once again. There
is nothing in those traditional Diku/LP descriptions a good program (I'm
refering to my own) can't match or better. A book? Maybe not. Certainly,
I would take offense if anyone claimed a piece of software was my better
in science fiction, but I wouldn't put most muds' areas past a hacked up
piece of software... aside from the bizzare typos. I'm to busy to do the
full post right now, so I'm just going to point you toward the archives.
There are a few test clips from a (partially) autogenerating engine from
one of my earlier versions in there...
