Re: Source 4 me?
You might look at the Dawn of Time codebase. It's ROM but redone in C++ supposedly. I don't think it's actively being developed anymore, but many bases aren't.

Re: Source 4 me?
A MUD really isn't the kind of project a novice should use to learn, at least not as a solo thing.
I would suggest thinking of something simple you want to do, and then do it. When you're done, expand it a little. After a few expansions, set it aside and start from scratch and make a new version and see what other ways you can code something with the same end result. If that's not your type of thing, pick a MUD and see if they are willing to bring on a novice for some smaller projects. Starting a MUD, even if it's just to learn, is such a massive project you will quickly become overwhelmed and most likely give up on it. |

For a single player game you might could look at Interactive Fiction design tools. Inform 7 is a good one to use for creating and playing those games. Welcome |

Re: Source 4 me?
Most MUD codebases are not ideal for a single-player game (maybe the Multi-User in MUD is a clue). While I'm not familiar with Inform 7, I'll trust to K's judgement of recommending that one instead.
