Hello,<\/p>\n

LD#17 was a lot of fun for me, I made a working telnet MUD with python. There wasn’t a lot of content, but PvP combat was fun if you were lucky to be online with someone else.<\/p>\n

\n After the compo, I refactored the code, then started working on converting it to a rouge-like. It’s current state, you can walk around the map, chat, and build walls. Combat might be working, but kind of pointless. Since I gutted some of the old room based map code, you can probably attack anybody in the game despite your location on the ascii map.

The old version:<\/p>\n

My plans for this weekend are to switch from telnet to a custom client using libtcod ( I would use curses but there is no windows version ). I’m also going to switch from the Twisted networking library to Chris McCormick’s PodSix Net<\/a>, an amazingly lightweight and powerful TCP library written with pure python.<\/p>\n

As for the gameplay, I have no definite plans. I would like to get some sort of resource harvesting and crafting system, with a simple hack and slash, level up gameplay.<\/p>","time":"November 26th, 2010 5:18 pm","title":"I\u2019m doing this Mini LD!"}
