Source 4 me?
 
Hi! I am looking to create a single player mud and eventually make a small online mud to help teach me C++

Im the learn as you go type of person, and i have already started learning C++

I have a novice backround in Python

So i need a source code that would be good for me! Thanks!

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.

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.

An excellant source for links and information for MUDs can be found at . Specifically, try . While a given codebase from the list may not be available at that site you can then google around and search for the information with a codebase name.

Best of luck.

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.
