Question 1

What is MudOS?

Accepted Answer

MudOS is an LPMUD driver (LPC compiler and virtual machine) from the 1990s. It is no longer maintained. FluffOS is the actively maintained MudOS successor and runs existing MudOS mudlibs.

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.
