Q What is Palace ?
"Finally putting up a home page? You're behind the curve. This fall everybody's building a palace" - Time Magazine article on Palace - Nov 9 - 1998 - pg 86
The technical answer - Palace is a 2D chat program that provides online chat enhanced with grapics, avatars and a powerful scripting language.
The real answer - Palace is whatever you want it to be. Instead of the boring text based chats that you have probably seen on the net, Palace offers graphics enhanced worlds with rooms, avatars and sounds.
In Palace you can don a likeness of your favorite movie star or cartoon character, an animated prop that dances - or even a picture of the real you and just be yourself.
You can dance, zap, fling pies, teleport and whatever else you can dream up with the palace scripting language - iptscrae. You can sit and talk with friends in a quiet room, hold a barn dance, share pictures of your kids or talk privately with someone in another room.
For the ultimate Palace experience, you can build your own virtual world with rooms, graphics and scripts - limited truly only by your imagination. Palaces can feature quiet rooms for personal chat, scenes from places important to you, online games and even complicated features like drag racing and kung fu fighting.
