Heh, me too, I use tintin on linux for most mudding. I used to use one
called muddle, until it quit compiling with the later versions of
linux. I could probably fix it if I wanted to dig into the code enough,
but it's easier to just stick with something that works, and although
tintin was initially intended for diku style muds which I generally
avoid, it still works well for most muds. Again, like your gmud, it's
mostly a telnet client with scripting capabilities, which I never use,
mostly because I never found a manual explaining the scripting, but it
does work for aliases and actions, which I do use, otherwise, it's no
different from plain telnet, which I do still use from time to time if I
don't feel like logging into my linux boxes first.

Maybe I'm just old and set in my ways, but clients like vipmud or the
others you have mentioned are far too complex for my needs. G mud is
probably not much more than a glorified telnet client, but it does
everything I needed to do, and it works beautifully. Just my opinion, of
course. :-)

I've used MudRammer before, but yeah, it definitely helps to have a
Windows computer with a good MUD client, like Mush-client, with a sound
pack if the MUD has one.

I have never seriously tried to play a mud on my iPhone. I have a mud
client, I think, but I can't even remember the last time I used it. what
iPhone software are you trying to use to play muds? In theory, though,
especially if you have a Bluetooth keyboard, it should work exactly the
same as it would in windows or anything else, or at least I think that
would be the case. I know there are quite a few players on discworld who
use a screen reader, but I don't know how many of them are trying to
play from an I device. I could try to play a little bit with my
Bluetooth keyboard and see what happens. I, personally, use an antique
program called G mud under windows 10. There are some jaws Scripps that
make it work very well, so I would only want to play on my phone if I
could be guaranteed a similar experience. Best of luck, and let me know
if you were able to get it to work.

Wizard's guild, and even getting me gear has been a nightmare. And got
killed just walking around near the University by a newsgirl. I was
told by people on there that they didn't think my screen reader could
handle the game? I use Voiceover on my iphone, with plans to use it on
an ipad once the thing finally arrives. Which was the other thing, I
use IOS cause my mac seems slow and clunky and don't have a ton of money
to buy their new one anytime soon, and the same people seem to think
everyone has to use windows/android. I even get that from some friends
went from trying to help me to refusing to talk to me unless I swore
allegiance to microsoft tech.
> So can someone on an iphone with voiceover play discworld? I
really want to love this game, as I am a hardcore Pratchett fan who
personally identifies IRL with Cherie Littlebottom. Please let me know
if this game isn't beyond my ability to play?
