Okay its official, I am building a Graphical Mud engine! I got the email this morning that I would be backed. Very excited.
A couple things to note. When I say Mud please don't think 80's all text Mud. I am building the next generation Mud. Very graphical with some very unique features but keeping what we all love about Muds.

Web Based Front End(Javascript,HTML5)
.Net backend(do not let that scare you, i am using mono for any OS compatibility)
SignalR(for sockets)

Re: HallsMud
quick update.
Built my connection classes and got client and server talking
Built MySQL connection classes and got it talking
Also built my best 2d map system ever(and trust me I have built a lot) It is an isometric scrolling view that will fit a MUD I think wonderfully.
Will have a demo up tomorrow.

Great! I'd tried making one of those a couple times and never could get it to work right. Can't wait to see it!hallsofvallhalla wrote:It is an isometric scrolling view

Re: HallsMud
So I got the map creator working as well as the map builder however I am not sure I want to deal with .net and a web server mixed with mysql. Having loads of issues and thinking of the end user.
I think I am going to rip out all the .net and mysql and go with nodejs and mongo.
Here is the map system I have so far
