You may not have intended for it to seem like that, but it did. Tyler was showing his MUD, and you told the other user to checkout your MUD. It just felt like you hi-jacked the thread (not saying you intended to). And please, you really should stop taking everything on this list person. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they are attacking you or attacking your person.

what you're doing but I was giving him another opportunity to try another
type.  Now if you feel that is just terrible you will noticed I have never
slammed your work unless you get snarky.  I again will refrain from saying
anything flippant now because I don't see any benefit in it.  You can
continue to do so though if you like.

Ken:
Every time I've mentioned my mud in any sort of thread, you've wrote
back basically tooting your own horn and telling the world how great
your engine is; in fact, you took this thread as an opportunity as
another reason to advertise your own mud. Don't give me that about
"eating our own," because I can't really remember to much of you
offering your vast amounts of aclaimed knowledge up for advice on this
topic, without you can squeeze something in about how awesomeness your
own engine is as well.

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outdated game engine.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.

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.

Hi,

@Ken: sounds very interesting :D I've heard of that MUD but haven't
looked into it all that much.
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..

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 mud
with
only 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.

Hi,

I have no answer for your question, but PLEASE try to veer away as
much from the stuff that's already out there as you can. 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.

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 bit
ago.
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
