MUD Coding

Brawndel · 06-17-2006, 08:27 PM

Hey guys!
Over the past year or so, I have been trying my best to understand what I may of coding. I have dabbled in all of the mainstream codes, and have been most impressed by Python. I am doing what I can now to become more than simply a python dabbler, and would like to take what I know and use it in a mud environment. I have googled the terms "mud code base python" etc a few different times, and have come up with nothing. My question is; are there any "usable" code bases out there which are written in python? And if not, do I have any other choices.. as in, is it possible to use python in a C environment etc? Thanks a lot for your time, I would really appreciate any feedback!

Here's a list of a bunch of codebases

If you like Python, you should check out the programming language Ruby. Some guy named Tyche wrote a MUD server in it called TeensyMud, which you can get here.
I've only played with it for a bit, but it looks very promising.

I wouldn't discredit an alpha version of a codebase right away. Obviously, it won't be as feature rich as some of the major C codebases such as Diku, but assuming that the alpha is stable (or can be made stable), it could be a nice place to start.

I guess the other option would be to take another MUD codebase and convert it to Python.

NakedMUD is written in C with Python scripting on top. It's free and available, with a very responsive mailing list. If you want to build a MUD in Python, you want to check out NakedMUD.
