First Post!
In case it isn’t obvious, the former placeholder mudpy site has been replaced with one based on WordPress. As for the MUD engine itself, a major redesign of the data storage backend is underway, along with some overhaul of the various core routines and lots of additional content for the world of Katarsis itself. A new release will be uploaded once the dust settles and any known bugs have been taken behind the woodshed for a good talking to.
What is it?
The mudpy project aims to create a simple, generic, cross-platform, freely-redistributable MUD core engine which can be easily understood and extended. It is written in pure Python (currently compatible with 2.5 and later 2.x versions) and has no prerequisite dependencies beyond Python and its built-in modules. All configuration and data are stored in consistently-formatted plain text files for ease of administration. The core engine is unicode-clean internally and supports UTF-8 encoding for input and output of extended text characters.
The mudpy program and sample content are released under a free and open license, and any bug reports, criticisms, ideas, patches, content submissions or other offers of collaboration are wholeheartedly welcome.
