This game server is an open source multi user dimension (MUD). Useful features from other open source code bases like Smaug will be included. The goal will be to provide a useful game that keeps the feel of the version that pre-date it.
If you would like to contribute areas, code, etc. feel free to contact me and/or issue a pull request when you're contribution is complete. If you have found a bug, file an issue here with details or steps to recreate so I can fix it. I invite and welcome any contributions. Great muds are a combination of the code and the content. You can't have just one or the other.
- Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
- Rasbian for use with the RaspberryPi
- Windows 10 - Compiles with Visual Studio 2017 Community.
Unfortunately over the years the best resources have been lost to time. I will try to provide new documentation and archive old documentation as I can find it. The best old resource was the rom mailing list but alas it does not exist at it's old locations which were at:
Here are some related resources that are thanksfully still active.
- Mud Bytes - http://www.mudbytes.net/
- Gammon Forums (Smaug & ROM) - http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/

As this is a ROM/Merc/Diku deritivate it must adhear to the licenses set before it from those code bases. I request that you leave any attributions on the login screen as the credits refer to the Diku lineage (including mine). The credits menu should provide ample space should you keep the menu system.
If you have bug reports, please create an issue in this repository as it will be the primary tracking mechanism.
