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!
