Hegemon (the java Client Application/Applet) was written by Ben Greear (greear@cyberhighway.net, greearb@agcs.com). It is based on an earlier attempt by Charlie Ponder (cponder@tripod.net), but has been completely hacked apart, so Charlie can't be held responsible! It was developed on a PC with a Cyrix 200+ running Slackware Linux 3.3. I used JDK version 1.1.3, ported by the good folks at BlackDown organization. ScryMUD (the c++ MUD server) was written from scratch by Ben Greear. It was developed on the same platform, and it's predecessor (p60, Slackware '96). I used g++ to compile of course. I have been working on Scry for over three years. It was written from scratch, but the UI was heavily influenced by DikuMUDs, especially JediMUD, which I played for a number of years (was known as Grock if it rings a bell..) You can find ScryMUD (currently) at scry.wanfear.com 4444 You can find information on Hegemon and ScryMUD at: http://scry.wanfear.com This software is released under the GPL in the hope that others will find it useful and possibly contribute code to make it better.
