Although this 3 month project dragged into 6, CoffeeMud 3.0 is officially DONE. There is a new CoffeeMud info site at http://coffeemud.homeip.net:27744/. Final documentation is being written up, although Installation and general user docs are finished. WHEW!

News (9/01/02): CoffeeMud 3.0 development resumes.

News (5/1/02):
CoffeeMud 3.0 is about 93% done. All that remains to be done is the Druid class, the Bard Map skill, and a few more Common skills. Development has been stalled since 4/10/02, but will hopefully resume soon. Due to the slow down, guilds (subclasses) is being dropped from 3.0. However, dozens of new spells, commands, and capabilities have been plugged in. For users of older versions, database and architectural/API changes are very few and far between considering all that's being done. And yes, MUDGrinder will proceed after 3.0 is completed. The new MUDGrinder will be based on the built-in web server piece instead of the stand-alone java application written previously.

News (4/10/02): CoffeeMud 3.0 development stops.

News (2/22/02): CoffeeMud 3.0 is begun.

News (2/21/02):
CoffeeMud 1.2.5 testing and debugging has been wrapped up and 1.2 is officially bug free. MUDGrinder was the only major component NOT updated. It will be in the next version, though. The 1.2 source files, along with a good and simple database solution called "fakedb", are available for download from the 1.2 link below. A play testing site has also been put together, based mostly on ROM area files. If you are brave, then email me, and I will tell you how to get to it!

News (9/25/01):
Sip v1.1 is released! The latest version of the bare-bones mud client "Sip" can now be downloaded from this page. New features include: up and down arrow "Command-History" capabilities, and definable function keys! To define an fkey, enter your commands (seperate multiple commands with "~") and then hold down ALT and press an fkey. Press the fkey again to retreive the command. Commands are saved in the .ini file.

News (9/11/01):
CoffeeMud 1.2 is begun! Using the area files of other MUDs is chosen as the solution to the play areas problem. Extending the GenClasses solves the flexibility issues.

News (3/15/01):
CoffeeMud 1.0 is official. However, the coded solution leaves very few options for on-line editor, and no obvious source for play areas. Development stalls.

News (9/22/00):
CoffeeMud is conceived, when the author's painful attempt to help a friend learn java turns into a coding monopoly and frenzy on his part. Original code is scrapped.
