jsmud - JavaScript MUD Kernel

About jsmud

The JavaScript MUD Kernel is software which allows developers to build a fully working MUD server utilizing the JavaScript scripting language. The project does not provide a ready-to-run MUD system, but instead requires that developers implement their own MUD from scratch. All that jsmud provides is the necessary networking, timer, and data storage APIs to the JavaScript environment.

The jsmud project was originally written as a proof-of-concept in the course of two days by Sean Middleditch of Mojodo, Inc. Several more days of effort have been put in since then. There is much left to do before jsmud is ready for prime time.

jsmud does not run inside of a web browser! jsmud embeds the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine inside of a conventional server process. It has nothing to do with web browsers, HTML, or client-side JavaScript application development.
