MUD from any computer!
I have always been impressed with the MUD Crackwhip. The web based
interface is the most unique I have ever seen. It is difficult to describe, but it can be accessed by pointing you favorite browser to . This unique setup allows you to bypass telnet, java, port, and other common network restrictions. It is the only MUD that I have EVER been able to play from work! I challenge anyone to find a computer it doesn't work on. Shadowen developed the concept when he could not MUD from work and has tbaMUD 3.51 up and running for a record of 211 days (same as server uptime) and still counting. He created a global content delivery network that matches text from the game to generate related pictures (over 10,000 of them from servers around the world so you always download from a local server). Of course it also has an incognito mode where you can choose not to display the pictures so all that you see on the screen is a telnet window inside your browser so you can pretend to do work. Shadowen has been kind enough to allow tbaMUD's development port to use this unique interface so I encourage people to check it out and help us develop the codebase by using the bug, idea, and typo reports in game. TBA is very serious about continuing development and continuing to improve the best MUD codebase in existence. __________________ Rumble The Builder Academy tbamud.com 9091 |

Re: MUD from any computer!
How does this differ from a Flash client? What do you mean by bypassing port restrictions? It appears to connect to a specific port, so couldn't that port be blocked from access by a workplace just like any other port?
