Hi there,
=20
I wrote a basic MUD system to teach myself Python and sockets
programming at the same time!
=20
I recently rewrote the entire thing, it has lots of cryptic commands for
creating rooms and objects while the game is playing..
=20
I had a World object which contained a list of Locations. Each Locations
contained a dictionary of current Objects and Users in the Location.
=20
To join rooms together, I created a Portal object, which linked one room
to another in a specified direction. I.e. the room had a dictionary of
Portals, with the dictionary key being the desired direction.=20
=20
This meant that the Portal was one way... so get around this I created
another Portal coming in the opposite direction from the opposite room.
I wrapped both Portals in a Gate object, which controlled the state of
both Portals, eg (locked, visible, open, closed etc)
=20
Another cool feature is you can attach python code to objects. Eg attach
a 'kick' verb to the 'rabbit' object which executes code. Its fairly
basic as MUD systems go, but its 100% Python and uses asynchronous
sockets, and should work 'out of the box' on any system...
=20
If anyone wants this code, drop me an email.

sw.

Subject: [Tutor] my newbie program
hello and thanks for the help on my program
so far. what i am wondering is how hard would
it be to implement a dig command that would
create room objects while the game is running.
also the appropriate exits. so something like
dig(north) would create a new exit to a new room
with an exit back to the room you dug from.
i am guessing pretty hard but then, i am a=20
rank beginner so maybe its easy. or are=20
vague questions like this off topic here?
i havent written any code for this because=20
i wouldnt know where to start.
