Hands up if you know what tinyfugue is :)

View on HN

I almost used it in the screenshot, but the live editing of code with emacs is way hotter :-)

Check out blightmud. It's kind of tinyfuge-the-next-generation.

Nice. I still use VMOO (anyone remember VMOO)! Is that rmoo/emacs on Fedora?

There's a nice collection of MOO resources: https://lisdude.com/moo/

It is too bad some of the old MOO dbs like ScrabbleMOO and NYC MOO are lost to history...

Is VMOO still available for download? I never used it ever but I was looking to show my 13 year old son LambdaMOO yesterday and I couldn't find a user friendly GUI client for him to run on Windows. I wasn't going to unleash emacs on him, and tkMOO isn't ideal, either.

Looks like the VMoo website is still there but is having... issues. But this is the last release. If you have a high DPI display you may find it slightly lacking, even with Windows compatibility settings applied. Which is a shame because VMoo was always the best client.

Most GUI-users use Mudlet (https://www.mudlet.org/) these days. Unfortunately, as far as I know, it lacks proper local editing support. If you're feeling adventurous you can work around that with something like MUDMixer (https://github.com/tms88/mudmixer) to proxy local editing.

Thanks. End goal for me is I am (or someone on the project will be) building my own client, but it will be likely tied to the semantics of my own core, and will work over websockets.

My son came to me (after he ran out of his time limit on Baldur's Gate 3) and asked me what I was working on. I didn't know how to explain it. Or show it. :-)

I hope the VMoo author will consider releasing it open-source.

You can try MUSHclient. You'll have to fiddle with it to make it go under Windows 7 and later. There are linked install instructions on the page:

Now that is a name that I’ve not heard in a long time …

I spent a good fraction of my years of MUD playing time on writing ever more elaborate tf macros to automate as much MUD play as possible.

    $ wc ~/tfrc
    878    6634   53336 /Users/tromp/tfrc

That's how I learned to program. At one point all my fighting was done for me.

TinTin++ over here

I will never stop using tt++ (though if I do, the client will be rad as hell)

You can still get help from the author through the forum/discord, when you're running into something confusing

I never really go hard w/ it, merely being able to version your aliases/triggers/etc is nice!

yup, and someone's looking after it, and i'm submitting fixes and new features to it in 2023.

MUSHclient or nothing.

Mudlet represent :)
