well I have the free account. I use it for pkb games right now and my own stuff I have 2.3gb right now. Its all I need at the oment. its good for short term storage. I have added my friends to it. eventually I may even invest in it as some sort of hosting plan. maybe. there is another service called gnomedisk but i have no idea about prices.

Probably doesn't make much sense, but still. Hope that kind of helps, Harmony. -----Original Message-----From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] OnBehalf Of dark Sent: 20 December 2009 12:50 AM To: Gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] speculative html game programming Hi. this is just a bit of idel speculation on my part here.something I've always wanted to do for many years is program a text rpg in html along the lines of Sryth. I've spent a fair amount of time working out hopefully interesting systems for game mechanics such as tactical turn based combat, exploration and wilderness navigation, several different areas, andindeed a hopefully interesting experience system.all this is thus far totally in speculation land, and sinse I'll be busywith my thesis for another couple of years, i'm making no promises.Just for interests' sake though, I would be quite interested to know how you would go about programming an html gamebook style adventure, ---- even abasic one with the standard fighting fantasy rules. I know some basic formatting commands in html, ---- but not to write in systems for hp, dice combat or checking inventory. Would that require javascript or a similar second language? As I said, this is certainly in no way a promise, more a sort of "how realistic would my speculations be once my thesis is finished" sort of thing.While I understand much of the theory of programming, ---- having studdied both formal logic and metaphysics, and had vaguely in depth chats with myfriend who's a software designer, --- I've little idea of the practicalities.if someone has any suggestion for something I can look at I'd be interestedto here it, ---- and who knows, time permitting i might have a crack atwriting something myself (sinse afterall some good descriptive writing andbasic dice combat rules can go a long way to making a good gamebook).
