Chatproject

The basic idea is having a more fun-to-use chat/filesharing program than ICQ and the likes. Right now I'm thinking of something featuring this:

• OpenGL rendered window
• World consisting of some kind of walkable environment: block-based or more general I've not decided yet
• Symbolic objects in world represent files which are shared
• Chatting via either global chat-console a la Unreal Tournament or as placards above players heads
• Players may modify world and their own visual appearance
