A Custom Client
I don’t believe I’ve mentioned it here yet, but around 2005-2007 wrote a custom MUD client using wxWidgets and SDL. It runs fairly well on Windows and tolerably on Linux (there are one or two glitches). I designed it to work with Duris and its prompt system. It shows maps for a zone if they’re available and keeps track of hits, mana, and moves via a meter system. The graphics are pretty simple, although I had planned to improve them a bit. This program was written from scratch and could form the basis for a custom hybrid 2-d/text-based Basternae client at some point.
Here’s a screenshot (while playing Duris):
Bugs For Breakfast
This morning I munched a few bugs and the total is now down to 4,296.
Another Good Chunk
Down to 4,539 errors.
Most of the rest of the errors to be squashed are going to be pretty involved, so I expect slower progress for a while. Even so, we’re not too far from zero now.
Another Notch
The error count is now down to 4,905. Slow and steady progress…
Just 100
The error count is down 100 to 5,704.
I spent this week sending out the second and last issue of my fantasy/sci-fi magazine, All Possible Worlds. Although I run a dozen or so other websites, I might be able to put more time into the Basternae code without the magazine stealing my time. It is/was a pretty cool little magazine, but it’s a massive drain on the time and finances to run.
A Tiny Update
The error count is now down to 5,804.
Working on the Basternae code is a lot of fun, but I don’t get as much time to do it as I would like. Even so, at least progress is being made.
Update
The error count is now down to 5,853.
