    I'm looking for a terrain generator for a dungeon game I'm planning
    to write.  (or at least an algorithm to generate the terrain.. I can code
    it myself)  I'll take it in just about any language ('cept maybe smalltalk
    or 4004 asm!)  Also, If anybody has any Ideas (is that a dumb question?) 
    about what should be in the game, please mail them to me.
    The Ideas I have so far are:

      * Multiuser, Multiplayer
      * Infinite landscape
      * Player created dungeons (when you get high enough with enough gold,
	you can create dungeons that others can go through)
      * Tons of magic items, monsters, spells
      * configurable controls (maybe defaults to hack style or whatver..)
      * tows, cities, castles, keeps: all with people who interact with
	the world
      * rumors that are spread by players (from their experiences) and by
	NPC's (my how rumors get exaggerated..)
      * AND MUCH, MUCH, MORE!

    I'm thinking about using the D&D system for most things (although adapting
    it for computer use).

    any and all replies will be greatly appreciated.
