It's the same as saying merc/rom/circle are diku.

They're not.


LPMuds work on a driver/codebase partnership. that with the use of the LPC scripting language is what makes a LPMud. there are a number of diffrent drivers and then a number of diffrent codebases on top of them.

As the above posters have mentioned you can't share code because there's never been a formal design spec and all_inventory() in one codebase isn't going to act the same way as another.


There's no means of copy and paste code sharing.. thats why you won't find a LPMUD community as such but you're more likely to find a LIMA/Dead Souls/TMI communtiy instead.

Anyone with a 'custom' codebase can get little from the other communitys other than spit-talking hyopthetical ideas which can be done with any community of mud developers.


At the end it is the Implementation that differs between LP and DIku and most times it also differs from LP too LP
