Smaug is the base code that runs the popular [Realms of Despair] (http://www.realmsofdespair.com) MUD. Through the years it has been tweaked, modified, and enhanced to become one of the most feature packed branches of the MERC family of codebases.
The ongoing goal of Smaug C++ is to find and eliminate as many of the bugs in the stock Smaug source code as possible so as to provide for a clean, stable base for new admins to run a Smaug mud from.
Smaug C++ has evolved to become a very solid, stable, and feature packed member of the MERC family. Through continued efforts to modernize and enhance the code, we hope to carry Smaug into the future as THE choice for a MUD codebase.
