From: Andrej Andreev Date: 2008-05-23T16:12:41+09:00 Subject: Programming MUD Hi there! 116 days past after last post about MUD and here it back! I am programming an absolutely new engine for multi-users game with text interface. Yet there is no particular plot line, but engine works fine with moving creatures (NPC's and players) and fighting. Another feature is independence from encoding: all output and input is encoded on the fly to UTF8 usign Iconv from any encoding. The engine is rather young (about a week) but it is a fun for me to develop it. The base of the server is GServer, it works just fine for me. Also all output can be coloured using ANSI-codes. Ruby threads are used for events such as creatures moving, fights' rounds counting, health resting etc. When it would be something like ready, i want to spend time on developing the story line and the world itself. If you are interesed in some technical or plot details or problems I have or had, please, drop me e-mail any time.
