MUD news system
Hello!
Today, a new Iberia MUD webclient was released, which can be reached from
our website. It is very innovative, already workable/playable but also still
needs many improvements. Being an hobby, moving from a good solution to
an optimal one would take years, so it was decided to be released right
now in it's current state.
This is an old proof of concept I had long ago. In short, I believed that
one of the best wrappers for MUDS, considering web/visual clients, is a
card game. And after 8 or 10 years, here it is!
One of the cool aspects of this client is that it only uses pure existent
out of band protocols, namely MSDP, meaning that there is no magic at all
in the server to make this possible.
It supports almost all Iberia MUD systems (communication, army combat,
combat, equipment, etc) and also has, as last resort, an "old school"
terminal window (that we all like!).
Rather than showing a finished piece of software that can bring and retain
new players, I trust it is more relevant to mud community: probably it can
turn into a great step for other programmers (not the hobbyists, probably)
develop better mud frontends.
Enjoy!
