Hello again everyone,
I have been working on fixing several things on my mud, and now that they
are fixed, I am moving on to my next project: the EDM Terminal. As some of
you may remember, I am making a futuristic MUD (EverydayMUD.org:4000). I
have added metro stations...many other things. Magic is gone, etc... But I
am adding a new form of "terminal" you could say. Through out the city,
there will be small atm-like computer terminals here and there. They will
allow players to use the terminals, get weather forecast, latest news (which
corperations are succeeding, etc...) and stuff like that. And for those
trained in the way of the hacker, there will be certain commands that they
can type while in the terminal that will be able to hack corperations, get
personal information about someone, etc... all based on skill and chance. I
have screwed around with the prompt areas and added some COMM flags for
players that are in the terminal. I've also messed around with interp.c so
that if the command is not a terminal command, you get a "Excuse me?".
Stuff like that was fairly simple. But I am curious if it would be possible
to do a screen clear? would I just have it print about 45 lines of nothing
to the players screen or what? That would work...but it seems rather messy
for what i want to do. If anyone has any ideas for this or if they have any
ideas for my terminal idea, all are welcome. Thanks a ton.
