Game

This was an attempt to write a MUD server.

It was my first big project in Java, and accordingly was a) not very well written and b) very educational.

As a MUD server it did actually get a fairly functional stage, and I still think it included some good ideas. One of these was to represent all text internally using an HTML-style markup language. Special tags could be used to carry out calculations before presenting text to a user.

Another fun feature was the provision of languages, with speech in a language unknown to a particular player being mangled in a deterministic and language-specific way.

The code here probably isn't much use, because it doesn't include any data files, but you're welcome to play with it.
