I've thought about coding a door game. I'm fairly certain I'm good enough 
with it that I could write a text game. I don't have the patience for 
programming though. I mean, I have the patience to learn it, but not to 
spend a month or a year on the same program. Perhaps Jon, if you keep 
talking about it, and felt like a collaboration, I would change my mind. I 
would like to try something new with a program, and it would be a good xp 
to brush up on my rusty C. No guarantees though. At the very least, 
someone else might step up to the plate here if you kept talking about it.

A month ago I was giving it some thought. I was mentally toying with the 
following idea.

A door game that would be like 3 or 4 door games in one. Like you'd 
transport from Tradewars, to BRE, to Realm of Kisom, or something like 
that. But you could use your cash and XP, etc in the other "realms" or 
"dimensions," or "eras in time."
