Hello,
My mud has just passed 5.4k lines of code, which isn't all that much by itself,
but for me it feels like a lot, and it's starting to feel kind of cluttered.
I'm not sure if this is me, or if it actually is; I' hoping it's due to my lack
of experience with larger projects. A lot of the code is largely untested, as I
need so many things in place to be able to get something else working, so
beyond "it compiles," until I get more systems in place that will work with the
other systems there that haven't been tested, I can't say much for how it
should run.
My question was if someone would be willing to do a sort of review, look at the
code and give their thoughts on it. Either what was done good, what was done
wrong and how they would fix it, preferably why it was wrong, etc. It would be
really helpful, and I would add you to the credits of course.
That all said, I'll give a bit of an overview of the project.
Basically, what I'm building is a mud, which for those who don't know, is an
online text-based game that multiple people can play. Rather than building a
full mud though, the idea is to allow people to take my engine of sorts, and
build their game off of it, so the goal is to be light-weight, flexible and
easily extendable. I am working for more of the bare-bones approach, in the
sense that the systems that I implement will only be systems that the game can
use, and won't actually influence the type of game. This means I'm avoiding
races (As the person may not even want races), combat, skills, etc, and aiming
to make basic versions of a player, NPC, etc that can be enhanced or kept as-is
through the game design of the end-user.
For those brave enough to dive into my code, most of my code is in the unstable
branch until I get a lot of these systems up and working to the point where I
can label them stable. You can pull it down with svn with the following address:
svn://tds-solutions.net/aspen/branches/unstable
There is also a website for this project at:

which covers in more detail what I did above.
Thanks,
