LexiMUD is a C++ derivative of Circle intended for use as a Sci-fi MUD codebase, and is quickly gaining in popularity. It integrates many popular modules such as OLC and IMC, along new code, to provide a comprehensive codebase. Previously only the (now 1-year old) Alpha release was available to the public. <http://avp.dhs.org/leximud.tgz>. However, development on the new full version has progressed to the point that it is almost useable. Development is continuing as I reach towards my goals of a CLEAN, READABLE, and USABLE C++ MUD codebase. Some of LexiMUD Features: * An advanced RoleMaster-based Skill and Combat engine * A custom, human-readable, extensible world file format similiar to C and BIND file format. * Pre-scanned DG-scripts with full looping facilities * A custom STL, api-compatible with existing modern STLs. * Integrated InterMUD Communications 2 v1.03g release 8 + Channel Daemon LexiMUD Requires: * A modern C++ compiler - gcc 2.8 will NOT suffice. You need at least EGCS 1.1 or newer, or a compiler that supports templates and namespaces (and probably a few other features I can't remember at the moment) * UNIX or MacOS (sorry, no Windows support is left) Since LexiMUD has been more popular than I expected... so I have set up many new services! The new LexiMUD website is at: http://avp.dhs.org/leximud/ Stop by and take a peek! Services include: * browsable cross-indexed source (updated nightly) * cvsweb access Coming Soon: * code snapshots * discussion forums * more actual site content (right now it is mostly a pretty exterior) Potentially Coming: * anonymous CVS access * usage of modern features such as pthreads in the codebase * Bonsai and Tinderbox The Original LexiMUD, Aliens vs Predator: The MUD (currently running the Alpha version), is playable at: avp.dhs.org:4444 - Chris Jacobson +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | +------------------------------------------------------------+
