Re: MUD Creation/Coding Help
Lorei:
1) Download or get/install ubuntu linux on one of your machines. A VM would be fine.
2) Open up an editor window into a .c code file. Any editor will do.
3) Write C code for your server. You can do this however you'd like, as long as it works.
4) Compile it using the 'gcc' command from the command line.
5) Run the executable.
6) Connect and log into the server from another terminal.
This is the 'simple answer' to your 'simple question'. That's all there is to it, and actually, the above is exactly how I started Alter Aeon. Watch out for step 3 though, it's a doozy - I was a pretty well trained programmer even back then and it took me a year to have something stable.
