I'm sure a lot of you guys, like me have at one time or another got hooked on some mud or other :lol: Personally I used to be big into Lostsouls (telnet://lostsouls.org) and Moral Decay, and I've always fancied a go at doing a little coding for one.

aspects I am intrested in:

Character Creation
Hit Points System
Weapons
Bad Guys
Coordinate system
Navigation/movement
Inventory
Guilds/Quests

I like Lord of the Rings, so was thinking about having a few references in there ;)

What I have so far is a single threaded multisocket server. I have a few basic commands that work, like 'tell <user> <message>', 'say <message>' and 'who'. I also have a very basic login system that just takes a name and verifys it.

I am currently looking at turning the server into a multithreaded (one for each connected socket) one. The commands function is going to take a little bit of rewriting. I think I should move it into a class, need new instance for each thread.

If any one fancys having a go at anything on the above list, your more than welcome.

If you would like to take a look at what I've done so far, here it is:
