MUD source code
- by Tchalvak
I haven't been able to find a lot of the old, open source mud source codes. I find the way they did things very applicable to text-based/browser based games, and I'd love to be able to skim through parts of 'em for inspiration.
For instance, we have this huge list of muds and the relationships between them, but little by way of access to source code.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUD_trees
Often (I'm looking at you, dikumud, http://www.dikumud.com/links.aspx ) the sites of the mud itself doesn't even have a working link to the source.
https://github.com/alexmchale/merc-mud has a copy of merc that I found, which certainly contains other works within it's history, but the pickings seems sparse.
Does anyone have better resources for gaining access to MUD source code than these?
