The MUD FAQ

If you don't know anything about MUDs, you should probably read the MUD FAQ by Jennifer Smith <jds@math.okstate.edu> before going any further. It has three parts ...

  2. MUD Clients and Servers
  3. RWHO and MUDWHO

MOOs

MOO stands for MUD Object Oriented. Many consider MOOs to be the most advanced MUDs because of the kind of software development that a player can do. A MOO programmer almost never needs to rebuild the MOO server. Rather, the MOO server provides a powerful kernel that MOO-code programs run on. Typically, that kernel is augmented with a core of system-level MOO-code. The most famous of which is LambdaCore, the core for Pavel Curtis's LambdaMOO. This page is gradually evolving to be more and more MOO-oriented. Here's information that's invaluable for the MOO programmer.

Links to MOOs

These links will connect you directly to various MOOs. Some of these MOOs have Web-based hypertext interfaces. The rest use telnet. Andrew Wilson's Internet VR Sites provides links to lots of MOOs.
