ranviermud - A node.js based MUD game engine

•    Javascript

Ranvier is a MUD game engine. Out of the box Ranvier is configured to use a telnet server and will work with any MUD client you've used to connect to other MUDs. It runs a websocket server simultaneously, meaning players can also connect to your game with a websocket client at the same time. However, Ranvier supports any transport server you want to use; changing the entire networking layer is as easy as adding a command. Ranvier also has a GUI builder available, Soma.

dwarlixir - A dwarf-fortress clone / MUD / side project in Elixir

•    Elixir

Make sure you have Elixir ~> 1.5.1 available. What about aging; could be a separate tick for everyone (easy) or some kind of "everything ages at the same time" tick. If the latter, I need, I think, to make it possible to subscribe to events in the ECS framework. Well, my "Watcher" idea is growing old quickly isn't it. Unless I create a Universe entity with a Tick component which could get updated with a monotonically increasing value, and that would be something that various things could watch...

miniboa - An asynchronous, single-threaded, poll-based Telnet server

•    Python

Miniboa is a bare-bones Telnet server to use as the base for a MUD or similar interactive server. Miniboa has several nice features for this type of application. To use Miniboa, you create a Telnet Server object listening at a specified port number. You have to provide two functions for the server; the first is a handler for new connections and the second is the handler for lost connections. These handler functions are passed Telnet Client objects -- these are your communication paths to and from the individual player's MUD client.

mud-pi - A simple MUD server in Python, for teaching purposes, which could be run on a Raspberry Pi

•    Python

A simple text-based Multi-User Dungeon (MUD) game, which could be run on a Raspberry Pi or other low-end server. You will need to install Python (2.7+ or 3.3+) where you wish to run the server. Installers for Windows and Mac can be found at http://www.python.org/download/. There are also tarballs for Linux, although the best way to install on Linux would be via the package manager.

dragon-mud - A text-based game engine written in Go and scripted with Lua.

•    Go

DragonMUD is a dream of mine, building a new MUD engine for experience and fun before building my own game on top of it. The engine will be a firm foundation for any kind of text based adventure (for now just Telnet, but eventually web and websocket versions as well). It will feature a plugin system allowing the core of the game to be moldable from the ground up into what you truly desire for your game. That's really up to you. This project is for me, but I believe in sharing. I also feel yet another new MUD engine may inspire some new games to be created in the genre, which would be amazing. I'm a huge fan of MUDs and feel that new entries have kind of become almost non-existent. Perhaps a new game and an accessible low-setup server framework would make it easier for new games to be quickly created.

Neuro is a simple and easily-extensible websocket client to use with the Ranvier MUD game engine. Neuro is built with Electron and Polymer. The main place to start will be in src/neuro-app/neuro-app.html. To use with Ranvier your Ranvier server must be using the ranvier-websocket bundle to enable websocket connections. If you wish to modify the data Ranvier is sending to Neuro follow the documentation for Extending Bundles (in short: copy ranvier-websockets to a new folder, disable the ranvier-websockets bundle in ranvier.json and enable your new bundle.
