BTW, I read the Beej page and it helped answer a whole pile of questions for me. While I'm writing, I might as well ask if anyone knows where a list of the ANSI ( ASCII? ) color codes and the like are. Why I was building my own MUD was three-fold: First of all, when you have built the MUD Server from the ground up, you know it by heart, and so any improvements are made easier and probably work better. Second, it seems to be the best way for me to learn programming is to tinker, rtfm, tinker, ask questions, tinker, etc.. Third, while Diku-style MUDs ( Especially my home programming turf of CircleMUD ) are pretty easy to poke around in, I find that I can't get support for a lot of the features I want without either going through the long process of coding the new feature to fix the new MUD, then patching all the bugs as they pop up, or grabing a patch off of one of the many patch sites, and working out the bugs in THAT. Then I often find myself adding to and tweaking the patches, and in the end it gets real confusing and irregular no matter how much I comment and pretty up the code .... So I decided that I would design as simple a MUD platform as I can, that is easily expandable and contains a good number of features, like an easy-to-customize channel system, a menu/command-line on line creation system and a good in code text-editor, stuff like that ... - Jynx Ryn - The Complex Man with a Simple Signiture </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00830" HREF="msg00830.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Finer points of Telnet programming ...</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Caliban Tiresias Darklock <caliban#darklock,com></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00828" HREF="msg00828.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Finer points of Telnet programming ...</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> Ben Greear <greear#cyberhighway,net></LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00828.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Finer points of Telnet programming ...</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00830.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Finer points of Telnet programming ...</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00828.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Finer points of Telnet programming ...</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00830.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Finer points of Telnet programming ...</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00829"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00829"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>[MUD-Dev] Re: Finer points of Telnet programming ...</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00837" HREF="msg00837.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Finer points of Telnet programming ...</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Tue 25 Aug 1998, 02:10 GMT </LI> </ul> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00820" HREF="msg00820.html">[MUD-Dev] Finer points of Telnet programming ...</A></strong>, Jynx (Wyrm / Tygr / Myth) Ryn <a href="mailto:jynx_ryn#mindless,com">jynx_ryn#mindless,com</a>, Sun 23 Aug 1998, 07:30 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00822" HREF="msg00822.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Finer points of Telnet programming ...</A></strong>, Marc Hernandez <a href="mailto:marc#jb,com">marc#jb,com</a>, Sun 23 Aug 1998, 08:06 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00828" HREF="msg00828.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Finer points of Telnet programming ...</A></strong>, Ben Greear <a href="mailto:greear#cyberhighway,net">greear#cyberhighway,net</a>, Sun 23 Aug 1998, 21:26 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00829" HREF="msg00829.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Finer points of Telnet programming ...</A></strong>, Jynx (Wyrm / Tygr / Myth) Ryn <a href="mailto:jynx_ryn#mindless,com">jynx_ryn#mindless,com</a>, Sun 23 Aug 1998, 22:16 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00830" HREF="msg00830.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Finer points of Telnet programming ...</A></strong>, Caliban Tiresias Darklock <a href="mailto:caliban#darklock,com">caliban#darklock,com</a>, Mon 24 Aug 1998, 03:28 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00833" HREF="msg00833.html">[MUD-Dev] Minimal MUD-kernel (was Re: Finer points of Telnet programming ...)</A></strong>, Niklas Elmqvist <a href="mailto:d97elm#dtek,chalmers.se">d97elm#dtek,chalmers.se</a>, Mon 24 Aug 1998, 09:50 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00835" HREF="msg00835.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Modular MUD [Was:Finer points of Telnet programming ...]</A></strong>, Jynx (Wyrm / Tygr / Myth) Ryn <a href="mailto:jynx_ryn#mindless,com">jynx_ryn#mindless,com</a>, Mon 24 Aug 1998, 23:55 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00839" HREF="msg00839.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Modular MUD [Was:Finer points of Telnet programming ...]</A></strong>, Caliban Tiresias Darklock <a href="mailto:caliban#darklock,com">caliban#darklock,com</a>, Tue 25 Aug 1998, 12:47 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
