I really like the idea of making the UI totally seperate from the engine, not unlike css and html, or mysql and it's front ends. Now the obvious method is to use network sockets, probably not the safest idea, and I've thought about using shared objects?. Has anyone got any ideas on other methods I could try? Is this design choice being used, or is it a pipe dream?

Model-View-Controller (MVC) programming is a commonly practiced in multiple languages (examples for web development include Java, various PHP toolkits, Ruby on Rails, etc.).
