Hello all,
I have had the goal of developing a mud for a few years now, but
never could find the base that I wanted to get started with.
I have now started work on something I'll call skelmud or SkelPlusPlus
for short.
I wasn't able to find any decent barebones c++ mud bases that I liked,
with the exception of socketmud++, which was a bit to barebones. It
basically looked like a chat server that you could find on google,
there wasn't anything that would split it up from a chat server.
So, using Socketmud, I set out to write my own system. I would like
people to take a look at it if they have the time, and make
suggestions/comments on the code and the way it is set up. I don't
usually code with indentations, but I used a code styler to clean it
up for the sited comunity that may be looking at it.
The only two issues so far that I can see are:
1, the makefile doesn't detect when a file has been updated for some
reason and just links. Now that I've got autoconf working with the
base, this is problematic because a recompile means a reconfigure as
well.
2, I'm not quite sure if I've properly linked in the configure.h so
that the options it detects and sets will be used at compile-time.
Other than that, I think the code is somewhat well-written, though
I'll leave it to others to comment there. I compiled with all warnings
turned on, and removed the warnings that were produced.
This is nowhere near what I plan to release to the public as a code
base, I just wanted thoughts on what exists right now.
Currently there is player creation and login, and a couple commands
that I set up to test the interpreter.
I have uploaded the code to my website in two different formats; the
links can be found below:

Again, any suggestions and comments are appriciated, either on or off
list.
Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield
