The ultimate in computer fantasy role playing games(tm). We are actually not quite done with it, but it should be done Real Soon Now. In fact, by the time this is distributed to your site, expect to see TinyMUCH up. Here are just a few of the many beautiful things that our MUCH can do: ** HUGE OBJECT DATA BASE A lot of other silly MUDs say they are cool because they have 10,000 or 20,000 objects. We, however, have created a subroutine which recursively creates an infinite number of objects. Here is our recursive subroutine, for any other MUDders who would like to include this cool concept in their MUD: void object_loop() { create(cool_object); This means, that you can program yourself to make dumb comments every few minutes and then log out. You can still have a TinyLIFE while not logged in, and your friends will never know the difference. Here is an example player that a TinyMUCH tester programmed last week. We have fond memories of wandering through such excellently executed areas such as the various Perns and Ambers. It is really nice, after a long day of work to be able to enter such a thoughtless environment. Well, we have decided to take the beauty of this one step further. Our TinyMUCH has 1-2 megabyte file each, for the literary worlds of Anne McCaffrey, Roger Zelazny, JRR Tolkien and Piers Anthony. Our cool MUCH program randomly generates areas from these files. Even more important is the fact that after extensive statistical analysis we have found no loss in quallity over the typical Tiny or LPMUD fictional fantasy setting! Here is the code for those who want to use this cool idea(tm). To help move away this trend, we have introduced the Safe Combat System(tm). This system quickly kills one combatant with little description of the blood and gore. Our code is included below for any other MUD which may want to include it to be as cool as we are: void combat(player *attacker, player *defender) { int i = rnd; EDU 2324 *********** Phillip Nunez ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The ultimate in computer fantasy role playing games(tm)" is trademark the TinyMUCH development team, 1990.
