Kids are now modding the interface of WOW (World of Warcarft by Blizzard). Blizzard doesn’t support such mods, but has made it possible. See their tutorial, Tutorials – The Unofficial WoW UI Site. According to the tutorial, “The interface of World of Warcraft is built from XML files which describe the look and layout, and lua files which contain scripting functionality.”
My son tells me that it is hard to draw the line between a mod that makes it easier to play, and a hack that gives you information or an advantage you shouldn’t have.
