First suggestion I will give to you, is study the code, because it doesn't
sound like you know what you are doing. If you change a strcat() to a
sprintf() then you simply writting the string over the last one, instead of
ADDING it, that is why you are getting no mobs displayed in your rooms,
eventhough they are really there.
Get a help index of some sort, and read up on sprintf and strcat, there are
several others too. Once you learn C++ then you can check out MUD code. Or
if you want to learn doing muds, then I suggest you get a Good book, or a
great online help index to help you with each command that you see in the
code.
