HackNet code available

Hi folks!

I've just made HackNet's first public CVS commit. Hacknet is a multiplayer roguelike game, in the style of Hack and NetHack, written in C++.

Currently, the HackNet server generates NetHack-style dungeon layouts, and multiple clients can connect to the server to explore the dungeon.

I encourage people to look over the source code from CVS, and to think about helping contribute to the HackNet project -- it's big enough for everyone to be able to help out!

Objects, monsters, and inter-player communication are next on the list to be implemented -- not to mention making the existing codebase a little slicker! Expect to see these things emerge within the next few weeks.

To get the CVS code, visit our project page, click the CVS link, and follow the directions. Our module name (unsurprisingly) is 'hacknet'.
