What is it?
SquirrelMud is a complete MUD server written from scratch in C++. It's
based on the general principal of textual online roleplaying. I looked
at numerous other servers while coming up with this one (I didn't steal
any code though, it is all original). A few others that are at
a pretty good state include
CircleMUD. I actually used the
CircleMUD server for quite a while until I found both the codebase and
the liscense far too restrictive.
All that being said, SquirrelMUD is a lot like many mud servers you see
out there today. Most of the base concepts are there, we have rooms,
things (objects), and creatures (mobs or mobiles). You can pick up
skills, go on adventures, learn new spells, battle fearsome monsters,
shop, trade, and form groups and clans. There are a few things that
we've gone ahead and implemented that I havn't seen in any other
servers. The first is a full telnet implementation, so we can take
advantage of some advanced features like command line history and
editing. There are a load of extras there that you'll just have to
play to discover. One other obvious feature is the dynamic web (http)
server that allows players to view all of their info and more through
their favorite web browsers.
Yeah!
