Up to Main Index Up to Journal for June, 2015 JOURNAL FOR THURSDAY 4TH JUNE, 2015 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: Public dev branch update DATE: Thu 4 Jun 22:22:32 BST 2015 I've just pushed out an update to the public WolfMUD dev branch, at last! The public dev branch is now based on the newer WolfMUD-mini code. If you want to have a look at the new direction the code is taking you have to checkout the dev branch of the public Git repository. So if you don't have WolfMUD from the Git repository yet you can follow follow either option 2 - Using go get - or option 4 - git clone - from the getting started guide[1]. Then just checkout the dev branch. If you know what you are doing and just need to clone the public repoitory: git clone https://code.wolfmud.org/WolfMUD WolfMUD.git Now a few notes on this version. Firstly, the executable by default is still called server (or server.exe on Windows). However at the moment this version is single user only. When you run server, or server.exe, in a shell it will start up, describe where you are and expect input: $ ./server [ Fireplace ] You are in the corner of a common room in the Dragon's Breath tavern. There is a fire burning away merrily in an ornate fireplace giving comfort to weary travellers. Shadows flicker around the room, changing light to darkness and back again. There is a small plaque above the fireplace. To the south the common room extends and east the common room leads to the tavern entrance. You can see some cheese here. You can see a mug here. You can see a box here. You can see a bag here. You can see exits east, southeast and south. > Commands currently available are: movement (N,NE,E,SE,S,SW,W,NW,U,D and their longhand versions) GET Get an item from where you are DROP Drop an item where you are EXAMINE or EXAM Examine an item (where you are or in your inventory) INVENTORY or INV List your inventory LOOK or L Redescribe where you are PUT Put an item into a container (held or where you are) TAKE Take an item out of a container (held or where you are) READ Read something held or where you are #DUMP Debug by dumping something by it's alias QUIT Exit WolfMUD The commands are all defined in the 'cmd' directory and are easy to change and add new commands. The current locations and items are defined in the 'attr' directory in the setup.go source - as I haven't rewritten the data loaders yet. By looking at the existing examples in setup.go it should be easy to change and/or add more locations and items. That's it, the new direction for WolfMUD. Like it? Hate it?
