Several years ago by now I promoted porting Nethack to Ada as a way to attract college students to the Ada language. The proposal fell on deaf ears. I'd like to see the conceptual richness and widely distributed development model, both perfect for students, of Nethack ported to a full 3D graphics live action dungeon crawl game, but it's way past my skill set to accomplish, or even organize. xanthian. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG
