Mudlet tutorial profile

[demonnic]

Brief summary of issue / Description of requested feature:

A profile which is installed with Mudlet by default the first time which the user can 'connect' to and provides a MUD like interface to interact with in order to teach the user about Mudlet in specific, and MUDs in general.

Steps to reproduce the issue / Reasons for adding feature:

1. Provides a nice tutorial experience for Mudlet
2. Also introduces the player to MUDs in general, how to move, chat, etc
3. Can edit the profile directly in response to instructions in the main console, similar to vimtutor. This way you can make triggers, aliases, etc as part of the tutorial and have the tutorial 'verify' your work.

Things it should cover:

• playing the "syntax game" - unfortunate reality is that not all syntax is intuitive, you have to play around with word combinations to get it right (I'd give an analogy "just like keywords in search engines" but that's not a thing anymore)

Extra information, such as Mudlet version, operating system and ideas for how to solve / implement:

I think this could provide a very good 'learn by doing' experience for first time players. It has the added bonus of removing any risk or fear of 'messing up' your first character, which is something I've seen a lot in roleplaying genres specifically.

I found another fascinating example in Github Lab, e.g. first introduction to Github, which goes over issues, comments, branches, pull requests, reviews, etc. It watches users actions and responds with the next steps to take. Its descriptions have short, concise descriptions with links to glossary and brief video examples. Want same for Mudlet too :)

agreed. the gitlab learning modules use a bot (NPC) to guide the tutorial, which would be perfect in concept for application to mudlet as @Kebap suggests.
