the tavern:

The tavern is our sample world. In some ways it's less a cohesive tavern environment and more of a collection of world-examples of various things that can be done. At some point it will be recoded to be a more interesting environment that's less on the "look what else we can do" side.

currently implemented

• heart beats, callouts
• connect, disconnect, linkdeath, and input events
• races, shadows, scoped commands, wearables
• rooms, exits, doors, keys
• multi-command aliases, ansi colors (you can nest them too!)
• word-wrapping based on NAWS telnet option (i.e. your client says "hey, I like 72 columns" and we will wrap to 72 columns)
• 'more' based on NAWS ROWS option.
• object persistence (including players)
• searchables, wearables
• bulletin boards, a line editor (like ed), visual editors (mpico--see screenshot, and soon others)
• npcs
• heaps (as in a heap of coins or a heap of smelly fish)
• introductions! (you don't know other folks until they introduce themselves to you)
• in-game statistics (VM size, # mud objects....)
• in-game editing, updating, cloning
• user-level and code-level security

This is MPico--one of our in-game visual editors. Bluemud has MPico (mini-pico), Nomacs (No Macros), and a line editor much like ed.
