| | Hey thanks Nick. Im downloading it right now. Does this work offline to? Instead of playing off the localhost could it be used to make a game like a pc game you would buy in the store? | | Top |

| That page is all about MUDs, MUSHes, etc. These are all text-based, so probably not what you'd find in the store.
Besides, I believe that none of those allow you to use it for profit anyways.
If you want to make games, the first thing you should do is learn how to program. Buy a book (there are tons available), find and read websites (there are tons available of that, too), take a class if you can. If you don't have a solid background in programming you will meet nothing but frustration when trying to make a game. |

| Quite right.
If you are thinking of a 3D game like Quake or Doom, or their lookalikes, there are even books that describe exactly how such games are written, including sample code.
To answer your other question, yes MUDs can run locally from localhost, there is a FAQ about doing that. But basically you fire up the server and connect to localhost. |
