>MUD! Learn the basics first! Like you said - this list AND mud programming >in general is NOT for people who have never read a C book. I've never read a C book in my life. As John Evans stated, I asked some pretty stupid things when I first joined this list (and got flamed out the wazoo :), but that was for about one month. I got the hang of it, and now I've never encountered something I couldn't figure out how to code. I just wished that there was a place for newbies (like I was) to be greeted more kindly. Personally, I don't care about the flames, but some may get discouraged and throw the whole things to hell you know? I'd hate to see that. >This is not directed at you personally Chuck.

But to admit that you >have never read a C book but want to program a MUD in C? That's a bit >ludicrous, don't you think? Pointers alone would leave your head spinning. Not really :) >Now a list for just admins and gods... That would be something! (no coding >would be covered - just world design and object manipulation.) Of course >you can't consider yourself only an admin by installing a stock Circle and >trying to compile it. If you don't understand C, don't compile Circle! I agree that the list you spoke of would be quite progressive, but that's for another post ;) Chuck +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://democracy.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list-faq.html | +------------------------------------------------------------+
