If you do not already know, I am developing a mud written in java, with perhaps jPython as the scripting language or maybe just java itself. I am developing it using what Object Oriented principles I know to the best of my ability. I am developing it from scratch and think it will be a hobby of mine for many years to come. I have developed a heavily mud rom mud which is available to the public and I have played many diku muds. This will probably reflect the type of mud I develop, although most muds I played were not the normal diku derivative and my reason for wanting to start from scratch stem from this fact. I am aiming for a heavily simulated real world, roleplaying, smart npc's, pkilling (because it's real) and stuff like that. I aim to have the world totally separate from the server code and on the same hand the code is going to be genre-less (by supporting abstract object types simulating stuff from both future type genre's and fantasy type genre's, sometimes as the same object type). I also plan to have an advanced and fun way for people to build the world, and script the objects. I am telling those of you who are interested because I have decided to post some of my design notes to the list for suggestions and comments. I am the only person currently working on the project, and would greatly appreciate any comments I can get on my notes. I understand this is probably not normal, but I think is the only way I can contribute and get help at the same time using this list. If you have a problem with me posting or spamming or wasting your time or whatever, please just ignore the mail. If everyone on the list hates it then I will discontinue the posts. I am hoping, however, just for some comments and suggestions from those of you who are willing to give them, be they constructive or destructive. Thanks for reading...
