>How complex do I want this project to be?

Simple but a path to build on it.

>What are the goals of the project?

Learn some game theory along with leaning the code.

>What features do I need/want to include?

AI would be a great feature as some don't really want to play against 
others.  However, this should be added later I would think.

>Stand alone application or web-based?

Web based can be a pig, especially if we get heavy into graphics.   Well I 
guess it would depend on the amount of people that use modems?


>Cross platform?

Absolutely.   On the monks we are have many platforms.   We should probably 
limit to two to start.  Probably Linux and Win32.


>Single or multi-player?

Start Single and add the multiplayer?   Multi can be hard as 3DO released 
Heros4 ( A line with multi capability) without the multi option.  They 
added it later.

>Allow play over a network(if multi-player)?

Yes.

>Text-based or lots of graphics

I would think a combo of both.   Would we want to start out with text and 
do a Zork type of thing?

>How am I going to solve the problems and challenges using Perl?


Oh I forgot to say.  My wife is a graphic designer.  I could probably talk 
here into doing things. ;-)
