This also means that we are not in it for profit, but that we don’t mind if someone makes something that is amazing enough that the community supports their efforts and rewards them.
CoffeeMUD uses the Apache License v2.0 This is important for all our future projects to ensure that everyone in our community can feel free to contribute, and build without worry. The reason that the licenses of each of these is so important is that the CoffeeMUD and other programs we use to teach Java programming all fall under the various open source license agreements. The fifth are not quite so elite as the fourth, want more bells and whistles, and still like to hole themselves up in a room and veg out on a MUD. The sixth one has a look and feel that will be friendly to a more chatty and expressive participant. The fourth speaks to ultra-nerds that just want to program. The third one has something to say to our younger programmers (age-wise). A second one speaks about our sense of community, coming into the new age(s). One speaks to our community directly because of the language it was written in. Each of these appeals to a different audience. I’m not saying that the other clients do not have these things, but I had to narrow them down to the ones that seem most appropriate for the community we hope to build. The girls will love it, … GNU GPLv2, Check…īasically these programs have web pages, communities, a good vibe, and are worthy of a closer look.TinTin++ Plus, Plus, GNU GPLv2, … Check….Elite User Status, customize anything/everything, script much?, GNU GPLv2, … Check….Active organization, cross-platform, active support, MIT License, … Check….Active organization, cross-platform, CC3.0 license, … Check….Our organization will be Java oriented, LGPLv2 … Check….Of these clients, the ones that I think we should formally/actively endorse, support, and use are: At some point in the future I may choose to change the recommended clients, but for the time being these were the MUD clients that I assessed at cursory glance: I had one rule when researching all the MUD clients. From a backwards compatibility, and an interchangeability standpoint I have chosen which clients I will use to build this organization.
Now that I am primarily switching to using Linux for most of my server needs, I decided it’s time that I learned how to use linux MUD clients. They learn how to function in their MUD-world with a specific set of rules, guidelines, and a narrow vision about how things should be done. Each MUDder learns to MUD on a particular client.
