.DT REQS Divided Sky Creator Concepts Help REQS .SH Requirements for New Immortals .SP 5 5 The Learning domain allows newly promoted immortals the opportunity to learn the basic coding skills necessary to become productive members of the coding team. To ensure that new coders have these necessary skills, each member of Learning must complete certain guidelines before "graduating" from the domain and working on further projects. The _minimum_ requirements are: A) Two (2) rooms, one indoor and one outdoor room, complete with the following: A long description of at least four lines and an add_item for each noun in the long description and also an add_item for each noun mentioned in the previous add_items. (Your workroom, even if rewritten may not be counted as one of these rooms.) B) One (1) armour object with a proper description. C) One (1) weapon object with a proper description. D) One (1) clothing object with a proper description. E) One (1) NPC (non-player character) with at least one add_respond_to_with() function. F) One (1) add_command. (This may be included in one of the items listed in A through D, or it may be a separate item, room, etc.) G) A basic understanding of Immortal functions, including the use of calls and the ed editor. All submitted requirements must contain sufficient descriptions, adhere to the theme of the mud, and be suitable for use by the general player population. Additionally, the requirements should follow the accepted standards for format and style of coding. Keep in mind that the list above represents the minimum. REQS may be expanded later for inclusion in the mud and count towards the next promotion, if they meet the expected standards. REQS should be completed within a month of joining the Learning domain, unless there are extenuating circumstances. Extensions should be requested in writing to the Lord of Learning, with a cc to admin. Finally, always feel free to ask questions. No one was born knowing how to code this stuff. :) .EP
