MUD game and server that uses discord as a player interface

Installation

Requires discord.py.

In order to run, you must set up and configure your own user bot. More info can be found here.

Once you get a token, create a new environmental variable called DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN, and set it to be your token.

Then, run main.py. Your bot should log in, and a world creation dialog should appear. Currently, the dialog only asks for a world name and grid size.

Getting started

When you are done, some randomly generated terrain should appear.

Once your world is created, you need to add a starting town. Click on the button to enter Add Town mode. Click on a location on the grid to add your first town. A dialog will pop-up asking you for some more parameters.

Now it is time to create a character. The prefix for the bot is * by default. In a valid chat channel, type *register. The bot will ask you if you want to join the server. Type yes. The bot will then prompt you to name your character. Once you have given your character a name, you should see it spawn on top of the starting town in the GUI.
