LambdaMOO

MOO Server Software

For anyone looking to run a LambdaMOO server today, I recommend LambdaMOO. The 1.9.0 release (currently in alpha) represents significant modernization work and is a better starting point than the various 1.8.x branches, including my own. I plan to adopt it for Waterpoint eventually. It includes the XML parser described below as well as WAIFs, Unicode, and a bunch of fixes.

My extensions

I’ve written two LambdaMOO server extensions.

  • ext-xml – This I still use. It’s part of the server I run today.
  • fileio – This I haven’t used in a very long time, and haven’t been the maintainer of the patch for nearly as long. I do not have the current version of the source.

wp-lambdamoo (legacy)

The source for the server that Waterpoint currently runs is available on GitHub at wp-lambdamoo. This includes both the modern version of the ext-xml patch as well as the other patches to stock LambdaMOO Waterpoint uses:

  • ext-xml
  • WAIFs
  • Unicode (see also codepoint)
  • WAIF_DICT (makes the syntax expr[expr] work for WAIFs to enable in-db dict-like usage)

Scripts

I’ve moved the scripts that were here to GitHub at https://github.com/xythian/codebag/tree/master/moo.
There’s a README there with an inventory.
