Re: Looking for advice Coding/MUDing

Coding for my MUD has been a long path indeed. 11 years now, almost 12. it took years to learn object oriented ways of doing things, and even longer to learn some of the existing core objects and how to manipulate such things.
Along the way, its been fun, and interesting. new areas developed, code came along with it in support of that new area. Ideas formed for re-usable code in objects which could be applied all over. Suffice it to say that its been as much fun building objects with interesting code inside them, as the areas themselves which use these things.
Of course, there are more and less efficient ways to code things, and both work, but the effeciency scales up over time. Tis the nature of code, to learn what works, and what doesnt.
I started my own mostly because getting quota from the LamdaMOO gods (ARB) was like pulling teeth, and I really wanted to do my own thing and learn it all anyway, necessitating my own play system. I'm glad I did!
