This program forks an instance of Colossal Cave Adventure for each chat. It is not very efficient but I wanted something quick and dirty that works (contibutions and improvements are welcome). The class responsible of communication between the main process and the forked one is called 'BLAHBLAH'
To avoid wasting resources a simple garbage collector hase been implemented. Inactive processes are automatically stopped and their data is saved. When a request for a stopped process arrives a new process is transparently respawned and its data is restored. The class holding the list of processes is named 'blablu'.
