How so?

How so?

... you don't know how the others strive
To paint a little thing like that you smeared
Carelessly passing with your robes afloat,--
Yet do much less, so much less, Someone says,
(I know his name, no matter)--so much less!
Well, less is more, Lucrezia: I am judged.

TeensyMud 2.0.2 - A minor release update.

* Added long descriptions and a new command to set them.
* Only room descriptions are visible currently.
* Added color.
* Added password to Player, Player#encrypt and Player#check_passwd to manage it.
* Added stateful login code in network routine.
* Fixed dbtop calculation. Should be highest oid not db#size.
* Moved socket cleanup to Player#disconnect.

TeensyMud is also capable of understanding mudlibs converted from a variety of different mud servers via a utility that understands everything (and I really do mean everything) about the muds. The utility is not yet available as I'm polishing it up. It obviously has other applications and is much more capable than TeensyMud itself.

I have packaged Teensy mudlib versions of both the TinyMud and DikuMud mudlibs.

There is of course no way of legally satisfying the DikuMud license in the operation of TeensyMud using the above dikubase.zip without changing the code.

TeensyMud v2.1.0 released!!!

The world's most advanced heavily modified elite mud server has just
took a horrible turn for the worse and doubled in size making it
suck like lesser mud servers.

All of the additions are networking code.
I think you'll find the network design unique and quite unusual.

Modified teensymud to use a ruby version of the Mesh multiplexer
single select server network code. This uses the Observer pattern
to interface the game engine to the network code rather than
message queues. We should be careful to preserve strict separation.

TeensyMud now sports runtime extensible commands.

More fun after done!!!

Got an address for us where we can see this beast in action?

Running a mud is a tremendous responsibility and should only be attempted by thoughtful and mature persons. I'm really not qualified to run a mud, even a test one, in a mature and responsible fashion without torturing, molesting and annoying anyone unfortunate to connect. That said once I have the features in place that other muds have which would allow me to routinely violate players on many levels I may fire a copy up. ;-)
