This is just a reminder that the 2nd Code Challenge will be ending on February 27th. For those developers partaking in the challenge - now is the time to start wrapping up the work and fine tuning the documentation.

MudMagic has sponsored 3 prizes - and a number of text games are providing in-game bonuses to the winners ( but we all know coders do it just to show off =)

The Challenge is for a Command Parsing Library. The end result is to provide a mud coder with functionality which will allow them to let their players input different commands that triggers the same functionality.

Example:
put the sword and axe in my pack
open up my second container (an exit: 'up' will also be present)
look inside the container
get sword
get sword pack
get second sword pack
get 2.sword pack
g 2.sw pa
g #2sw pa
g 3.sword
open the east door
open the door west
