Current Phase: Early Development

Hello! Thank you for your interest in MudJS. This project is currently undergoing its first phase of early development. MudJS is intended to be an engine of sorts for building old-school style dungeon crawlers.

To be clear: THIS IS NOT CURRENTLY FEATURE COMPLETE

It's under active development in my free time, and I will continue to add features as I can.

What MudJS is (will be):

• A collection of Data Structures (levels, rooms, stats, players, enemies, interactables, equipment, etc.)
• Accessor functions to manipulate the data structures (add room, defeat enemy, move player etc.)
• Utility and Engine functions to advance the gameplay (tick callbacks, save/load, etc.)
• Some kind of narrative management component (as yet undetermined)
• Designed with third party plugins in mind (so you can make your own tooling!)

What MudJS is not (won't be):

• A full game experience
• A front-end for building games for the engine
• A front-end for playing games made with the engine

While developing the engine, I am also building a front-end that will demonstrate both how one could build a game with it and what a game made with it would play like. As development progresses, I will provide a link to the interface side.

I'm really excited about this project! If you are too, I'd love to hear from you what your favorite dungeon crawlers are.

A library for creating old-school dungeon crawlers.

Further documentation to come as development progresses.
