What kind of programming language would be good to create mud? :eeeeeh:
I guess you just take some water and pour it over some loam / clay... :whistle:

LOL very funny i guess

but plz does anyone no

[FreeFreddy]

Well, if you tell us what another kind of mud you mean, I'll see if I can offer some advise (perhaps not, am still little new to serious programming, but perhaps...)

Multiple User Dimension, Multiple User Dungeon, or Multiple User Dialogue

most of the muds are written in C

I quite like the CircleMUD variation, very addicting, blew a year of university through that game though.... :angel:

Yup, Muds're usually in ASCII art or very close to it. No need for high'n fancy programming languages. If Qbasic has network support, you could make it even in there. C's a bit more common for it, though.

There's also plenty of modern muds that are written in C++ or even Java. Take not that writing a MUD is a piece of advanced programming for which you need knowledge of not only the programming language of your chouice but also of advanced networking issues such as sockets, multiple connections etc.

CircleMUD is a good codebase, but there are so many:
