Since SocketMUD™ is written in C, and there are some who would like to move to an object oriented language, I have ported the core of SocketMUD™ to C++, making it available for download. Just remember, this file contains only the core of SocketMud, and requires more work than SocketMud to get started. It should be noted that SocketMUD++™ was once called SocketMUD™ 2 (it was renamed when the C version of SocketMUD reached version 2).
