In other words, just contribute to Aspen and don't worry about buying an outdated game engine. It's open source, and anyone who wants to add is more than welcome to. I want to make this open source and free because I don't see the need for someone to pay for a mud engine, and the current ones out there are lacking a bit.

I commercially sell the VME engines I have a special deal with Valheru in that they got a lot of stock areas from us but the current version of the vme is a bit out of date it still only runs on redhat 7 or 9 if your good. I have a version that runs on newer Linux but it's not on the web site yet because I wanted to put it up when I put the Mac version up. I would have a cygwin/windows version but they want like $5000 to sell commercial software under Cygwin. So I have been trying to port it to windows 7 but I have to say there is some ghost bug I haven't found yet. So I guess the answer is we do sell the game engines but the version that's for sale is a bit old and the version that is new is not ready totally y et.

Also something called ...' valheru' which appears to be quite like it. Is the codebase available , or how did that happen? :S Or am i shooting in the dark here? @tyler: Thanks for clearing that up. I am about to embark on a programming course and would very much like this to be my future career. The start of this course is still a year or so away, and the focus will mainly be Java and html/css/php for web development, but I like my options diverse.. FLorian 2011/4/11, Ken Perry<whistler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>:Try Valhalla if you want something a little different we have our own functional language and the mud is still growing. Not to mention it's the only mud that stretches back to the beginning since our code base is not only written by the original Diku coders it still is. Well I am an add on but all the originals still show up from time to time. The code base started back in 87 as a college project and got up to the point of having 38,000 users before War craft came out. Anyway now we are a little mudwithonly an active user base of around 500 people and about 10 to 20 a night. But if you're looking for a really strange coding language and the ability to make worldwide changes at a builders level then give us a shot.

There's thousands of MUD's out there, and about 99 out of a 100 are usually the exact same with a few minute differences. I love MUDding but that kind of takes the fun off of it for me. FLorian 2011/4/11, Littlefield, Tyler<tyler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>:Hello all: As some of you may or may not be aware, I have been working on a mud engine for the last year or so. It's getting kind of big for me, since this is my first huge project; I just broke 10.5k lines of code a bitago.This leads me to a question I've been kind of tossing around for a while. Are there any individuals, groups or companies that do code review eather free or fairly cheap? I would like to get someone to pick through the code and tell me what they think; good points, and points where I could improve the code. I'm also looking at this from a performance angle, to see if there is someone that can look at that as well. My biggest fear is that I'm going to start building a game off of this in 6-8 months and realize that the performance sucks and needs to be fixed somehow. -- Thanks, Ty __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
