Hello all,
I have been looking through the forums for awhile, and I have to say you guys are often speaking a whole different language, so it makes me a little concerned I'm just not going to get scripting and the like down. I've played muds off and on since the late/mid 90's. I've taken breaks here and there, sometimes months or even a year or two at a time, but I always come back. My muds of choice tend to be the intensive combat types many of you play, such as the IRE games and my first one, Avalon. I've never been great at scripting and tend to stick with the simple aliases, keybindings, and dumb triggers that don't take a lot of skill to make. Also, I've never been great in a fight, often getting lost in a sea of afflictions as I watch myself scroll to my doom. So, I'm tired of all that and am hoping to learn how to properly build a responsive system... but I gotta figure out what all this code means! I'm currently back to playing Avalon and, well, I still suck after 20 years (with noticeable breaks) and that's just not cool. Assuming I have no computer/coding savvy, which is not a big assumption since the little bit of knowledge I have may as well be none, where should I start? I'm getting a little old to rage quit out of frustration
