Re: The Bedlam Experience

Heya,

The server is still very much Diku/Circle, fully playable via any telnet client. (We also have a superb Mudlet GUI and a web-based app that rivals the commercial offering from Iron Realms.)

The app used to flash battle messages up until recently, but they are neither exciting nor interesting, so attacks are now represented graphically. If you don't have an iDevice, you can glimpse what that looks like in the screenshots on . Any non-visualized events (of which there are many) are flashed in text for iPhone4 users, while iPhone5 users see them in an always-on event box at the bottom.

Double-tap on room name (or exa room) opens up the text description in an overlay window. There are quite a few places in the world where the description holds clues, so I don't imagine ever phasing those out. Same goes for item and mob descriptions--they are all there when needed.

You already know this, but others may not:
The new mapper is an open-source plugin that anyone can leverage, either via , or independently after grabbing it from .
