Starting with text based MUD/MUCK game
- by Scott Ivie
I’ve had this idea for a video game in my head for a long time but I’ve never had the knowledge or time to get it done. I still don’t really, but I am willing to dedicate a chunk of my time to this before it’s too late. Recently I started studying Lua script for a program called “MUSH Client” which works for MU* telnet style text games. I want to use the GUI capabilities of Mush Client with a MU* server to create a basic game but here is my dilemma. I figured this could be a suitable starting place for me.
BUT… Because I’m not very programmer savvy yet, I don’t know how to download/install/use the MU* server software. I was originally considering Protomuck because a few of the MU*s I were more impressed with began there.

I downloaded it, but I guess I'm too used to GUI style programs so I'm having great difficulty figuring out what to do next.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Does anyone even know what I'm talking about? heh..
