Centauri's Thoughts

FluxWorld has been running now some 118 days. Many features were added server side, and the requests were increasing, so I decided to take a direction which would ultimately save time and effort.


TinyMUD was a great start, and a good place to learn, but the ultimate is objects which can themselves be programmed. This is why I have chosen a MOO and have been working and studying on conversion.


The true interactiveness is something we could never achieve in tinyMUD, and MOO makes it pretty easy. Even though I have only been toying for a week, I see the long term benefits. I feel its worth the effort to move what we can, and use this new model for all things.


The General feel of the old FluxWorld is already there, and only a few areas are remaining to be transported into the new space.


Given how the first 4 months went, I see just as much in the NEXT 4 months!


Truly, as painful as conversions always are, I am excited by the possibilities I see in the new enhanced environment. The ability to do MORE.. without me taking chances crashing things by messing in the server code, is a tremendous benefit. In addition to this, if anyone else learns to code in MOO, I am no longer alone in coding it all. An added side benefit, to be sure.


This is the reason I have not posted in so long.
