A NodeJS MUD Engine with WebSockets.

RockMUD

RockMUD (0.1.7) is a WebSockets MUD server with node.js.

Doing what I can to keep a test server running on nodejitsu: http://moreoutput.rockmud.jit.su/. Client 'terminal' will be addressed soon. You can reach me directly: [email protected].

History: RockMUD was spawned out of my love of MUDs and too many late night coffees.

Goals:

• A Diku-like MUD experience from within the browser using HTML5 and NodeJS.
• Leverage HTML for MUD text.
• Everything is JavaScript / JSON.
• Fast Development
• Easy client GUI creation.
• Real-time browser OLC and world management.

Notes on dependencies:

• Not using a Node MVC framework.
• Not using any JS templating engines.
• Client side I use DOJO 1.9
• socket.io >= .9
• Node > .10.X

Some things Currently in 0.1.7:

• Simple architecture with no whitelisting of commands
• Character creation (Races, Classes, Stats, Passwords) and saving as json files.
• Channels
• Uniform way of scripting commands -- with permission checking
• JSON areas
• Command aliases defined client side.
• Various 'standard' commands (ex: chat, who, look, help, score, save, title, quit, get, drop, say, kill)
• Basic Combat (kill )
• Inventory
• Ticks (ex: regen, messages, autosave, and hunger/thirst)
• Movement directions are not static
• AMD loading for client side scripts
