I planned on using about the same system that WoW does, only slightly modifed to better fit the game. Clarify: I don't care about spelling when I'm on forums or an online game, etc. I do use proper spelling in other things. Like resumes, E-Mails, important documents, etc. I usually use spellcheck on those kinds of things. Problem with Ruby Forums is, they have such a low-grade forum that it has no spellcheck, no bold, italic, or underline text, no changing fonts, no changing color or size, no sigs, no avatars, no sections for specific things. Anyway, I have what I want planned. I don't have the means to create it by myself currently. Maybe, probably awhile from now, I will have either someone to do it for me, or a better Programming Language to write it in. Obviously Im not going to write it in Ruby. I might not even make it for PC. I'm probably going to use the Gamebryo Engine or have someone use it. But until then, I'm just gunna have a bit of fun with Logo. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
