MUD is a multi-player game of magic and mystery. You are an adventurer
|
|
exploring the dungeons and caves in the Land. MUD will accept simple
|
|
imperative sentences from you in (a subset of) English and attempt to
|
|
move you about the Land. Most simple movement commands are allowed,
|
|
eg n, sw, west, up, jump, plus others you'll have to find out! MUD
|
|
has the following set commands, minimum abbreviation in upper case:
|
|
|
|
<name> <message> Sends <message> to the player called <name>
|
|
Get <item> Allows you to pick up the <item>
|
|
DRop <item> Allows you to let go of the <item>...
|
|
Kill <name> If <name> is nearby, start fighting!
|
|
Inventory What am I carrying?
|
|
WHO Say who is playing
|
|
BUG There's something wrong/I wish to complain!
|
|
Look What can I see here? You can Look <direction>
|
|
SCore How well am I doing?
|
|
Quit I've had enough!
|
|
"<message> Send <message> to all in the room (talk)
|
|
SHout, <message> Send <message> to everyone
|
|
STEAL <item> FROM <name> Attempt to transfer possession of <item> from
|
|
<name> to you!
|
|
FOLLOW <name> Attempt to follow <name> wherever he goes.
|
|
LOSE <name> Stop <name> from following you!
|
|
LOG Record the game in a disc file <yourname>.LOG . Toggles.
|
|
HELP <name> Assist <name> in his actions, if he needs it
|
|
(eg HELP BERT will allow Bert to, say, open
|
|
a heavy door if he says OPEN HEAVYDOOR or
|
|
whatever).
|
|
REFUSE <name> Stop <name> from trying to assist you!
|
|
KEEP <item> If you say DROP <class>, where <item> is in
|
|
<class>, eg TREASURE, then don't drop <item>
|
|
BACK Go in opposite direction (may be rubbish if
|
|
there isn't one, eg for swamp and jump).
|
|
COMMANDS Short list of names of the above commands and
|
|
some others you might want to use.
|
|
|
|
Commands are processed up until a conjunction, such as 'and', 'then'
|
|
'.', ',' or end of line. If nothing matches an attempt to use the
|
|
previous command is made. Thus, 's<cr><cr>' will move twice south.
|
|
To score full points for any treasure, it must be dropped in the
|
|
swamp. You'll have to find the swamp yourselves! Points can also
|
|
be gained (or lost) for certain actions, eg killing someone...
|
|
If you leave a game by QUITing then you can start again later. One
|
|
point of lost stamina (from fights!) is regained per minute you're
|
|
out. If you're killed, however, you have to start anew.
