Agony Forge

An open source MUD.
Agony Forge is a web based Multi User Domain, or MUD. It is written using Java and Spring Boot using modern security and technology to provide an experience that feels like a telnet session from the 90s in your browser.

Core Module

The core module in Agony Forge provides a lightweight framework that handles security, session management, server clustering, and WebSocket transport for connections between players' browsers and the MUD server. It also provides a small set of standard objects and utilities to use as a platform for building a game.

The core module provides these functionalities:

• Low level management for network connections
• Framework for interpreting user commands
• Customizable menu framework
• Timer events
• Messaging from server to players
• Interpretation of color codes
• Flexible dice rolling

Agony Forge MUD

The second module is the MUD. It uses the core module and builds a game around them. It is also where new core features are incubated and developed before they get extracted back into the core module.

Here is where you will find:

• Rooms, Objects and Mobs
• Commands, menus and in-game editors
• Persistence of objects to the database
