Just wanted to let people know that the new WheelMUD code is moving along very well. There's a lot of activity over at the CodePlex site for WheelMUD. The rooms and mobs are now loading. There's a rudimentary mob AI as well. The infrastructure for remote administration is laid out, and ready for the next phase.
The only problem we seem to have is with CodePlex itself. We are using the SvnBridge application to connect with their source control using Subversion tools. I've had to patch SvnBridge several times in order to be able to do normal svn activities. It has been quite frustrating, but at least I have access to SvnBridge's code, so that I can patch it whenever something falls on its face.
All in all, I'm very pleased about where WheelMUD is headed.
