Interface PALplate.mud.MudObject

public interface MudObject
extends Object
This might eventually balloon into something that has more in common with the sort of functionality which Applets have, but for now it's nothing more than an init function. This is implemented by objects which have initial arguments.

All java objects which correspond to objects in the mud must implement this interface.

Thought about making MudObjects also understand mud communication (extending MudComm).. should I do this?
