Ancient Anguish is based on the Amylaar LPMud driver and the Loch Ness mudlib, from the MUD of the same name.

The MUD is based on a from-scratch mudlib and runs on FluffOS, a fork of the MudOS driver, placing it in the LPMud family.

LPMud was innovative in its separation of the MUD infrastructure into a virtual machine ( known as the driver ) and a development framework written in the LPC programming language ( known as the mudlib ).

The original mudlib was the Genesis Mudlib that came with LPMud drivers up to LPMud 2. 4. 5.

As LPMud matured, the separation between driver and mudlib grew to the point that the developers of MudOS and DGD did not ship their drivers with fully functional mudlibs.

In the LPMud 2. 4. 5 mudlib, for example, the parent object for all rooms is.

CD gamedriver and CD mudlib ( also known as CDlib ) are popular LPMud gamedriver and mudlib.

Genesis LPMud, a multi-player computer game, is the original LPMud founded in April 1989 by Lars Pensjö, now running on CD gamedriver and mudlib, and previously hosted by Chalmers Computer Society, though hosting has since been moved to a dedicated, private server.

The Two Towers is an LPMud, running on the MudOS game driver with a mudlib based on TMI-2.

He was intimately involved in early LPMud development, both in the LPMUD driver and the CD mudlib.

Several architecture-specific optimizations in the LPMud driver and DartMUD mudlib had to be removed or re-coded, and DartMUD has been running on commodity Intel Architecture systems ever since.

Nanvaent is an LPMud running on the FluffOS game driver and its own derivative of the Discworld mudlib.

* DGD, Dworkin's Game Driver, a conceptual rather than code derivative of LPMud developed by Felix " Dworkin " Croes

Realising the potential of LPMud, code and players were converted to the LPMud codebase, sometimes with the help of Lars Pensjö, the eponymous creator of LPMud.

For example, LPMud tries to avoid the stability risks by abstracting the system into a virtual machine which is protected from mistakes made in objects written in the game's LPC programming language.

In order to accomplish this he wrote what is nowadays known as a virtual machine, which he called the LPMud driver, that ran the C-like LPC programming language used to create the game world.

The Mud Institute ( TMI ) was an LPMud opened in February 1992 as a gathering place for people interested in developing LPMud and teaching LPC after it became clear that Lars Pensjö had lost interest in the project.

The LPMud approach also enabled the development of gaming frameworks built in LPC that game builders could use as the foundation for their worlds.

The Nightmare Mudlib is a set of LPC programming language frameworks created by George Reese for building multi-user role playing games using the MudOS LPMud driver.

MudOS is a major family of LPMud server software, implementing its own variant of the LPC programming language.

Lars Pensjö of Sweden is the original author of the LPMud MUD engine and the LPC programming language, and is one of the founders of Genesis LPMud, notable for their part in the history of MMORPGs as well as the Pike programming language.

Descendants of the original LPMud include MudOS, DGD, SWLPC, FluffOS, and the Pike programming language, the latter the work of long-time LPMud developer Fredrik " Profezzorn " Hübinette.

AberMUD's popularity resulted in several inspired works, the most notable of which were TinyMUD, LPMud, and DikuMUD.

LPMud was used as the basis for the first Internet talker, Cat Chat, which opened in 1990.

Until Lima, LPMud games relied on a mechanism for command processing that required each programmer to define command processing syntax for the virtual room in which a person stood.

LPMud, abbreviated LP, is a family of MUD server software.

Pensjö's interest in LPMud eventually waned and development was carried on by others such as Jörn " Amylaar " Rennecke, Felix " Dworkin " Croes, Tim " Beek " Hollebeek and Lars Düning.

TMI focussed on both the LPMud driver and library, the driver evolving into MudOS, the TMI Mudlib was never officially released, but was influential in the development of other libraries.

However, AberMUD's legacy lives on in the three major codebases it inspired: TinyMUD, LPMud and DikuMUD.

Genocide, an LPMud founded in 1992, was a pioneer in PvP conflict as the first " pure PK " MUD, removing all non-PvP gameplay and discarding the RPG-style character development normally found in MUDs in favor of placing characters on an even footing, with only player skill providing an advantage.

Nightmare LPMud, founded in 1992, was one of the oldest continually running LPMuds still played until its closure on September 12, 2005.

In 1989 LPMud was developed by Lars Pensjö ( hence the LP in LPMud ).

Bartle further described how DikuMUD went in the opposite direction to TinyMUD and LPMud, by providing a very well organised hard-coded game that ran " out of the box ".

Its first instance, the original LPMud game driver, was developed in 1989 by Lars Pensjö ( hence the LP in LPMud ).

* LDMud, a fork of LPMud 3. 2 by Lars Düning

Beyond the Nightmare and Dead Souls mudlibs, noted above, George Reese contributed significantly to the MUD community by providing hosting for extensive MUD-related content through the Center for Imaginary Environments at imaginary. com ( including the influential webzine Imaginary Realities ), as the custodian of the LPMud Timeline and LPMud FAQ, and as the lead developer of Nightmare LPMud.

To accomplish his goal, Lennart Augustsson convinced Pensjö to write what today would be called a virtual machine, the LPMud driver.

* LPMud 3. 2, better known as the Amylaar driver, after its lead developer, Jörn " Amylaar " Rennecke

For example, EDLIN in early MS-DOS versions and 32-bit versions of Windows NT has a somewhat similar syntax, and text editors in many MUDs ( LPMud and descendants, for example ) use ed-like syntax.

During the early 1990s, LPMud was one of the most popular MUD codebases.

He stated that their intention was to create a MUD that was less messy than AberMUD, less buggy than LPMud, and more like Dungeons & Dragons.

By the time it did, in the early 1990s, LPMud had become one of the most popular forms of MUD.
