Code

I just got my copy of Windows 8 last night. I had to upgrade VMWare Workstation from version 7.1.4 to version 8.0. The previous version will not install Windows 8. Anyways, here is a screenie showing WM running:

Please make sure to read the updated instructions on how to configure the source to run on your development environment. We are making a ton of changes, so please check this document often.

CONFIGURE THE SOURCE

As much as I like GURPS, we don't have the experience right now to get this thing converted quickly. So, I spent about a week reviewing Open License gaming systems for use in WheelMUD. I came across Warrior, Rogue, and Mage and was blown away at the simplicity of the game mechanics, while allowing complex interactions. In the space of a few nights, I got the stats, skills, and talents converted into a format that WheelMUD's gaming engine can consume. I even got the first true usage of the rule class/object. This is all loading from disk now. The code is also in our repository.

I'm want to use Warrior, Rogue, and Mage as a reference for future MUD admins and builders.

I'm holding off on creating new code dumps, until we resolve some issues with the new architecture. Persistance is currently broken, so there's no point in putting out releases until this is fixed.

The source is still available through our Subversion server as usual.

We finally made it! Milestone 0.4.0.0 is finally out the door.

This means that all you people that have been waiting to work on 0.5, can get started now.
