The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Games::Object
DSLIP: adpOp
description: Provide base class for game data objects
userid: PSTEWART (Peter J. Stewart)
chapterid: 23 (Miscellaneous_Modules)
communities:

none known
rationale:
My goal is to provide a framework for the design of games in Perl,
largely of the RPG, strategy, or D&D-like variety. I have done this
by providing a base class for storage of game data in Perl objects,
hence Games::Object. This module actually grew out of a project I
have been working on for the past year. As I recently started to
reorganize the code to be more modular in design, I realized it
would be trivial to further CPAN-ize it and see if anyone else could
use it as well.
A long-term goal is to provide other modules built atop this that
allow users to create their own adventure games with minimal
programming effort, including handling of graphics, text, and basic
AI.
I did toy with the idea of registering it as Games::ACS::Object
(where ACS = Adventure Construction Set), but I tend to prefer
shorter module names, and there's a chance "ACS" is still considered
a trademark (there was actually a program by this name some time
ago, which was the inspiration for this in the first place).
