That was about the least efficient post I've ever seen. In short, you took about 20 lines to express what could be expressed in 1. So what's my point?

Become a builder! Channel all that energy to draw things out beyond any reasonable length into writing room descriptions! Exploit your gift!

I'd start out as a wizard (immortal) on an LP MUD, if I were you, because they tend to not differ much between coders and builders. Plus, to know the basics of LPC can be useful for many other programming languages - at least that is my personal experience.

The hard part about getting started on an LPMUD, and in LPC, is that there's not much good source material on learning it. I'm in the process of rewriting Ronny Wikh's textbook for the DGD server -- you can see it at ". If you're in the mood to read a book, that one will show you the very basics of LPC, though it's really geared more for people who can already program a little.

You may want to look into DGD. It's a great MUD server, it runs LPC, it's very solid, and the current crowd haven't got a massive bias toward making everything combat. Not the easiest to get started with, though. I'm working on writing documentation for it, but it's not there yet.

My site's at ", have a look around.
