- Player portraits for every race/class/gender combo
- Item images and loot displays
- Floating damage numbers and combat effects
- HP/Mana orbs with customizable colors (including animated neon plasma)
- ANSI terminal emulator in the browser
- Chat panels for gossip, broadcast, telepath, etc.
- Character panel with stats, inventory, and EXP tracking
- MegaMUD integration via DLL bridge for live memory reading
Works with any MajorMUD BBS that MegaMud can connect to.
## Requirements
