- This archive is a temporary one, containing only the first half of the
- expected AmigaMUD documentation, the MUDCre program, and the source to
- a small, simple MUD.
-
- The files in this archive are:
-
- README - this file
-
- Programming.txt - general documentation on the AmigaMUD wizard
- mode commands and the programming language.
-
- Builtins.txt - detailed documentation on all of the builtin
- functions in AmigaMUD, sorted in alphabetical order.
-
- MUDCre - a small program that builds an empty AmigaMUD database.
- Usable from CLI or Workbench.
-
- simple.m - AmigaMUD source for a very simple scenario. The
- comments in the file should be sufficent for most readers.
-
- To build and run the simple scenario:
-
- Pick a directory and go to it.
-
- run MUDCre - it will only create two very small files: MUD.data
- and MUD.index, and then exit.
-
- run MUDServ (from AMSrv-0.7.lha) in the background in that
- directory.
-
- run MUD (from AMClnt-0.7.lha) - background or foreground
-
- login in as SysAdmin (usual default password)
- enter: source simple.m
- this will take a second or two.
- enter: Normal().
-
- You are now running in the simple scenario. Other clients can
- run as well, although interclient communication is limited to
- speaking via lines starting with a quotation mark.
-
- What's left for me to write:
-
- ProgConcepts.txt - more complete discussions of some of the basic
- concepts in AmigaMUD, such as parsing, machines, etc.
-
- Scenario.txt - discussion of some of the mechanisms used in the
- standard scenario, and of how to program within its framework.
-
-
- I'm still waiting for any graphics or icons, folks!
