After actions are done, the next concept I want to tackle are Rulesets. Games built with the RPG will have a Ruleset, which may be unique to the site, shared with other sites, or a combination. Rulesets are the Actions, Events, and basic Objects that build the world for that site. They may be imported and exported, either through a form text area or with an include file. Once in the site, they may be customized using the various administration screens.
I envision the module will ultimately be shipped with two or three basic rulesets that an admin may choose from when setting up their site. Others could be customized or created from scratch and included in the future as contributed rulesets.
The first ruleset I will create will, of course, be for the Spindowners world. I'll use that to create a generic version to be shipped. After that, will probably be something based loosely off WoW or 3de, since people are largely familiar with those. Once ready for that part, that'll be a great place for non-coders who want to contribute.
Ok, back to programming.
