I am a high school computer teacher. We are planning an Internet adventure game and would love to have someone who would like to advise us on some of the more techy aspects.

You can see a sample of a similar game I personally started to make when I was first playing around with webpage design at: http://users.techline.com/leiske/journey.html

Feature needed #1.

We want to have players be able to access the game with their own username and password (which they would just make up - no eMail required). When the players quit the game, they would be able to return to where they left off in the game, by the username and password identification.

Feature needed #2

Each player would have some information like where they left off last time, any points they may have earned or things they may have "picked up" along their way. I am assuming that all of these features would be done by some simple section of code in maybe PERL (which I know little about) which would allow the program to access invisibly a database of personal info for each player.

Maybe you have some suggestions or a user of your website that my wish to help us. It would be a great help.

Thanks so much.
