I am using a MU* that uses \r as a line ending to make a carriage return (CR) to allow for simple ascii animation and other simple effects like a spinner. Mudlet seems to always do \r->CR LF rather than \r->CR which messes up the output. EG: Attempting buffer overrun against port 90... / - \ | / - \...

I have a button that I am trying to develop to find a way through a maze in order to find a treasure in the centre. The maze has 11 levels which are randomly interconnected each reset of the mud. You cannot map the maze with objects. My simplistic approach this is to generate random directions and k...

The MUD i am playing outputs a score with tabs in it; eg as shown on a plain telnet client: *score Score to date: 41019 Level of experience: necromancer Strength: 100 Stamina: 96 Dexterity: 10...

Hi I am playing a non-standard character mode MUD (british-legends) which has a entry prompt * and echos characters as they are typed retyping the entry line if new output occurs. This doesn't work well with the standard setup of mudlet which echos entered commands twice and doesn't align the entry ...
