Welcome to the CoffeeMUDWiki. (What is a wiki?)

    • What is CoffeeMUD?
  • CoffeeMud is, most importantly, a MUD Engine.

That means that CoffeeMud is a very large computer program that provides a foundation upon which one can most efficiently build a text based MUD of their very own. When you download the CoffeeMud software, you are dedicating yourself to weeks, months, even years of meticulous work using it to build a new world for others to log into and play.

A MUD Engine, also called a MUD Codebase, provides the gathering place for players all over the internet to congregate for the purpose of adventuring. The person who downloads, installs, and runs the CoffeeMud server is providing his computer as a host to the fantasy world in which the players reside and pursue their adventures. This means that the host must take the time to provide such a world for the players to wander around in. CoffeeMud contains software which provides both the foundation and the tools with which the host can create such a world.

Enjoy our humble codebase, Bo Zimmerman
