# go-mud

**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.

## Features

- 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

## Running the Server

To run the MUD server locally:

```sh

go run .

```

Or, with Docker:

```sh

docker compose up --build

```

## Example

![Screeenshot of movement](./img/ss6.jpg)

![Screeenshot of combat](./img/ss7.jpg)

![Screeenshot of scorecard](./img/ss8.jpg)

## Why?

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.
