Question 2

What is LPMUD?

Accepted Answer

LPMUD (also spelled LPMud) is a multiplayer text-world architecture that splits the game (the mudlib, written in LPC) from the engine (the driver). FluffOS is a current LPMUD driver.

Question 3

What is LPC?

Accepted Answer

LPC (Lars Pensjö C) is the object-oriented, C-like language used to write LPMUD games. FluffOS compiles and runs LPC. It is not C, Pike, or a general-purpose compiler.

Question 4

Is FluffOS compatible with MudOS?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FluffOS is backward-compatible with MudOS mudlibs. Use current master, not the unsupported v2017 branch.
