Resource for MOOers
I’m not sure if anyone else here has any interest whatsoever in MOOs or MUDs, but I realize part of why I didn’t get onto any for ages was outright intimidation—it was something I’d never done, all text-based, and it seemed like there were a lot of rules, as well as an old community in many of them.
However, I recently found a resource written by Yib from LambdaMOO, who is a wizard, or admin. She wrote an entire book/guide to MOOing, starting with the basics of connecting, talking, and emoting, and working up to more complicated topics such as objects, and even how to program objects!
(nb: MOO stands for MUD, Object-Oriented)
Yib’s book has a special focus on LambdaMOO, but can be applied to any MOO, and arguably, to MUDs as well. However, ensure you study or note the differing aspects of an individual MUD.
So, enough rambling. Here is your resource. It’s downloadable as a complete PDF. Happy MOOing!
