Trying to get a picture of the objects, variables, where they go, how they get there, and what they do while they are there.<br /> <br /> If you wish to understand the internals of coffeemud, learn a programming language (Java, C++, C, python, whatever.) Then go to www.google.com<br /> Read up on sockets (sockets ARE network connections)<br /> Read up on file i/o<br /> Read up on multi-threaded programming (creating threads, how threads destroy themselfs, and mutex&#039;s)<br /> Read up on linked lists (vectors and hashtables, especially vectors)<br /> The user input in coffeemud comes in in the telnetsession.java file<br /> The user input then flows to StdMOB.java, and is enqueud or passed<br /> to the command processor. If it&#039;s enqueued it&#039;s stored in a vector along<br /> with an integer value, the integer value is counted down every 1 or 3 seconds (whether or not you use the combat patch or not, respectively)<br /> The execute function then compares the user input against all available commands to the user, it may or may not modify it, then eventually returns a command or ability, on which execute(MOB THIS, vector commands) is called.</div>
