Re: [PHP] PHP telnet server


I often thought PHP would be a nice language for a MUD, if one could get the performance out of it...

'Course you could always write some of the heaviest bits as extensions...

Anyway, I don't think you need the connections to be "shared" in any special way.

Just update your data store and spew out whatever 'diff' you need to for anybody viewing the same room/object.

But maybe that's just the stupid way to write a MUD.
