go-mud is an attempt to create a simple MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) server in Go, inspired by the stock ROM 2.4 codebase I remember from my childhood. This is my first attempt at a Go project.
- Basic telnet-based multiplayer interaction
- Persistent character creation and storage
- Room-based movement and descriptions
- Area and mob loading from YAML files
- Simple command handling
- Basic combat system
- Stats and experience
To run the MUD server locally:
go run .Or, with Docker:
docker compose up --build
I wanted to recreate the experience of old-school MUDs while learning Go at the same time. This project is primarily for fun and nostalgia—but if it turns into something functional, cool.
