Palace

A proprietary multi-user {virtual

reality}-like {talk} system.

The Palace is distinguished from most other VR-like systems in

that it is only two-dimensional rather than three; rooms,

{avatars}, and "props" are made up of relatively small 2D

{bitmap} images.

Palace is a crude {hack}, or lightweight, depending on

your point of view.
