Linux/Mac terminal client - Blightmud
Hey people. Old player, not active at all these days. Mostly just logging in to test client stuff. Writing clients seems to take away playing time. Who'd have known?
Anywho, when I was active some years ago I always enjoyed Tinyfugue which is an "in terminal" client with a powerful but awkward scripting language. I liked it so much that I always had the idea to create my own client like that but with a more "standard" scripting language.
Along came the pandemic and I found myself looking into it.
So now I'm presenting "Blightmud", find it here.
It's written in the Rust programming language which makes it "memory safe" and lightning fast. It works great for all of the IRE muds (GMCP, MCCP2 support).
Some people have started using it but none from an IRE game as far as I know. If you have some linux skills then please check it out. I need bug reports and suggestions to keep going. If you have some Rust skills then you're more then welcome to get into the code. It's fairly easy to follow (because it's Rust).
Cheers
