Do share, pray tell! Which MUD were you using? I've been poking around at MUD/MOO-adjacent capabilities and am having to hold the AI back from authoring it's own MUD/MOO capabilities instead of dorking with an existing server (likely that's full of security holes and complex bespoke startup+install configurations)

I'd like `mud_or_moo --state-dir ./tmp/some-mud` which stored most things as plain text or maybe SQLite if really necessary? The core of a MUD which was conceptually similar to a wiki-browser against markdown files (ie: room-001.md => exits => room-002.md) is what i'm angling towards, such that _editing and linking_ felt more comfortable and GUI to a human user.

I forked evennia and added it. Took me a few hours with claude.

Once i had the core authorship mcp's working, claude itself created the whole world, including an initial tutorial sequence, combat, etc...

Kindof landed on evennia as the seeming sweet spot in reaction to your comment.

I've walked an agent through Home Assistant => Wiki-per-room => Zork-Me! ...and it turns out that the actual Inform Zork engine is pretty terrible but it's fun to say "go north ; look table" (and eventually "turn on ha.light_001" ;-).

The "MUD/MOO" aspect is where it opens interesting options of actually curling out to the home assistant instance, and the just kindof wild fun of making a functional "quest" in the context of your own home (eg: solve a mystery? make dinner? battling another user for the TV remote? :-D)

Cool, I was thinking about this very thing. Was looking at CoffeeMud and wondered if I gave it a starting room and a clean slate if it could basically just build out a whole Mud from scratch.

The answer is, yes, it will. And it will play test one, and even handles multiplayer quite nicely.
